Having a new pool installed is exciting. There are tons of decisions to make throughout the process with one of the most important being the swimming pool coping. The pool coping covers the edge of the pool. It creates safety as well as providing an aesthetically pleasing appeal to the pool area. When the pool is being installed talk with the contractor about the options that are available in coping to help create the environment you desire.
Pool coping provides a cover to the sharp edges of swimming pools. In ground swimming pools are often made from gunite which creates a rigid jagged edge where the patio meets the surface. When the coping is installed it protects the swimmers from scraps and cuts. Coping is smooth and curves around the perimeter of the pool.
Coping for swimming pools also helps to prevent cracking that can occur in the pools plaster and foundation. The borders and edges of the swimming pool are the most fragile point of the pools construction. When you cover the edges with pool coping you are adding an extra layer of protection against chips and cracks. Cracked coping is less expensive to repair than concrete and plaster.
Another benefit to coping is how pleasing it is to the eye. Coping is attractive and adds a decorative border between the patio and the pool. It is adds visual appeal that flatters the pool area. Coping magnifies the beauty that a swimming pool brings to the landscape of your homes backyard. A pool is a great addition to any backyard adding to the splendor of your homes landscaping.
