Coping refers to the protective cap or lip at the top of a wall that gives a finished look and protects the wall from the elements. It’s used largely the same way in pool design.

When an inground pool is built, the upper surface of the pool wall known as the bond beam will likely have exposed steel, which probably isn’t going to win any safety or design awards unless you’re going for Thunderdome chic. You install coping to cover this wall, where it can direct water away from your pool and into the deck drain. It will also give your pool a polished look and make it safer for swimmers.

Concrete pavers are a sturdy and require little maintenance. They come in several finishes and sizes and can be replaced piecemeal as needed. They’re water resistant and salt friendly too.

BULLNOSE coping has a flat, back-sloped surface and a curved front face that’s flush with the pool wall. It’s a gentle, comfortable cut that’s easy on the eyes and on folks climbing in and out of your pool. Plus, this cut makes it easy to change vinyl inground pool liners without having to remove the coping first.

Natural Stones coping from travertine, marble to limestone, cut stone pool coping lets you bring a bit of natural beauty and a whole lot of durability to your pool. Natural stone can cost more than Concrete Pavers, but it requires very little maintenance and provides extra aesthetic appeal. 

 No matter which material you choose, we recommend you add a sealant to prevent water damage and, if necessary, a non-slip coating to help improve safety.
