Installing a swimming pool will upgrade the value of your home. The coping that caps the pool edge and the surrounding deck should complement each other in color and texture. The pool is the yard’s focal point.
The pool coping can have a bullnose overhang into the pool to give swimmers a hand-hold. The texture should be smooth without any rough edges that will scratch swimmers sitting on the coping or snag bathing suits. Cast concrete was the standard for decades but natural stone and brick in different hues are now popular.

The stone or cement should be about three-inches in thickness. The material can be darker or lighter than the deck surface to designate the pool area. A cantilever coping from poured concrete that extends over the pool’s edge can border an aggregate stone deck
Granite can be processed into an attractive non-slip stone for pool coping and decks pavers. All materials used must not be slippery when wet and they must withstand the cold weather without cracking and chipping. Your pool and deck must be built to last.
