Where does the deck go with a pool, above or next to the rim?

I am building a deck along one side of my circular, above ground pool. In order to change the liner if needed, the caps on the rim would need to be removed. This leads me to think the deck should be built so it butts up against the side of the rim. But, the problem with that is, the rim is really rounded on top and I wouldn’t have flush, level access into my pool. And Im worried about my kids standing on the rim of the pool when jumping in. How should the deck be built with these circumstances?

build the deck so it comes just below the caps like in this site

    Us and the neighbors have our deck on top of the rail. It prevents exactly what you are talking about, someone stepping, standing or sitting on the top rail which could damage the pool sides.
