Raised Deck

[aceanddeuce]

Hey-

Any help would be great? We are having a fiberglass pool installed by a local company right now. I would like to build a raised deck with cinder blocks as a retaining wall for the spa. All I can find is one picture in SanJuan Magazine, but it doesn't go into detail. Does anyone know exactly how to do this? I am sure I can handle this project if I had some direction. Do I need to put cement underneath the coping of the pool and come out alittle bit for the cinder blocks to sit on? Should I put rebar and fill with cement in each cinderblock. Are the steps formed up with cinder blocks or with wood? I would like to go the length of the back of the pool to give us some extra decking. Any advice? Thanks! Randy
