Pool Coping: The Edge That Changes Everything

Pool coping is the stonework surrounding the edge of your pool, creating the transition between the pool and the decking. Changing outdated coping can completely transform the look of a pool. One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make in a remodel is redoing the plaster and tile but leaving older coping in place — an out-ofdate coping can make a pool look dated even with brand-new plaster. Coping really is the 'cherry on top.'
