IM PLANNING ON BUILDING SMALL 4X4 DECK FOR POOL ABOVE GROUND POOL ACCES AND WOULD LIKE THE STAIRS TO FOLLOW THE CONTOUR OF THE POOL BUT NOT SURE HOW TO GO ABOUT IT, I AM FAMILIAR WITH NORMAL STEP DESIGN BUT THIS HAS ME UNCERTAIN OF APROACH. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

Cut the stair stringers, then radius them out from the deck (or the pool). The bottom step will be the one that the deck boards span the farthest on -- space the stringers so that you don't overspan the boards on that step. They will be closer at the top step.
