A novel pool deck structure channel located beneath a swimming pool deck surface is disclosed that incorporates both a drainage device and a pool safety fence support structure. The unique channel design eliminate the need to have separate support holes drilled in a pool deck surface that can be a safety hazard when not in use, cause functional problems due to dirt and debris, and are not otherwise aesthetically pleasing. The unique channel design includes an elongated trough extending beneath the pool deck surface for supporting a drainage device, a plurality of holes in the trough, and a plurality of inserts within the holes that extend into the trough in order to support pool safety fence support posts.

1. A deck structure about a swimming pool having a deck surface and a channel extending beneath said deck surface, said channel containing a drainage device and a safety fence support system to be co-located, said channel comprising:a trough having a generally elongated C-shape cross section, said generally elongated C-shape trough having a first end, a second end, and a generally curved body there between, with first and second sidewalls being generally parallel and extending from said first and second ends respectively to said deck surface, said first and second sidewalls generally perpendicular to said deck surface;a plurality of first holes located in said generally curved body extending beneath said trough in a direction perpendicular to said deck surface; and,a plurality of inserts having an outer wall, inner wall, a thickness there between, a first length, and a second hole formed by said inner wall, said outer wall having dimensions such that said insert can be placed in said first hole of said elongated trough and said insert is sealed to said drainage device to prevent drainage water from leaking from said drainage device to said channel. 2. The deck structure of claim 1 wherein said first holes, said inserts, and said second hole in said insert are each generally circular in cross section. 3. The deck structure of claim 1 wherein said first holes, said inserts, and said second hole in said insert are each generally rectangular in cross section. 4. The deck structure of claim 1 wherein said drainage device further comprises a cover plate, said cover plate having a plurality of drainage apertures for communicating drainage water from said deck surface to said drainage device. 5. The deck structure of claim 1 wherein said inserts are manufactured from a polymer plastic composition. 6. The deck structure of claim 1 wherein said insert thickness is at least 0.030 inches and said insert extends from said first hole into said trough. 7. The deck structure of claim 1 wherein a safety pool fence pole can be inserted into said second hole of said insert. 8. The deck structure of claim 1 wherein a cover plug, having a second length, extends from said deck surface to proximate said first hole such that said second length of said cover plug is greater than said first length of said insert, where said cover plug is placed in said second hole of said insert when said insert is not supporting a safety fence pole. 9. A deck structure about a swimming pool having a deck surface and a channel extending beneath said deck surface, said channel and a safety fence support system to be co-located, said channel comprising:a trough having a generally U-shape cross section, said generally U-shape trough having a first end, a second end, with first and second ends proximate said deck surface, a first member and a second member, said first member being generally parallel to said second member, said first and second members extending from said first and second ends and being generally perpendicular to said deck surface, a third member extending between said first and second members;a plurality of first holes located in said third member extending beneath said trough in a direction perpendicular to said deck surface; and,a plurality of inserts having an outer wall, inner wall, a thickness there between, a length, and a second hole formed by said inner wall, said outer wall having dimensions such that said insert can be placed in said first hole of said trough and said insert is sealed to said drainage device to prevent drainage water from leaking from said drainage device to said channel. 10. The deck structure of claim 9 wherein said first holes, said inserts, and said second hole in said insert are each circular in cross section. 11. The deck structure of claim 9 wherein said first holes, said inserts, and said second hole in said insert are each generally rectangular in cross section. 12. The deck structure of claim 9 wherein said drainage de vice further comprises a cover plate, said cover plate having a plurality of drainage apertures for communicating drainage water from said deck surface to said drainage device. 13. The deck structure of claim 9 wherein said inserts are manufactured from a polymer plastic composition. 14. The deck structure of claim 9 wherein said insert thickness is at least 0.030 inches and said insert extends from said first hole into said trough. 15. The deck structure of claim 9 wherein a safety pool fence pole can be inserted into said second hole of said insert. 16. The deck structure of claim 9 wherein a cover plug, having a second length, extends from said deck surface to said first hole such that said second length of said cover plug is greater than said first length of said insert, where said cover plug is placed in said second hole of said insert when said insert is not supporting a safety fence pole.
