The measurment of the length and width will be increased by 16 becuase of the 8 feet deck that will press out on each side of the pool.
l=28
w=34
You need the perimiter.
P=2(L+W)
P=2(34+28)
P=2(62)
P=124F ANSWER

18ft+8ft*2=34ft
12ft+8ft*2=28ft
So 34ft by 28ft is the actual measurement of the pool and the deck. The total length of the fence is (34ft+28ft)2=124ft
