Why Swimming Pool Coping Is Important To Pool Design

Why Swimming Pool Coping Is Important To Pool Design
Pool coping is a masonry product that sits on top of the pool beam structure. It sits partly on the edge of the swimming pool shell, and it rises above the patio or deck. It is also one of the most important structures in swimming pool design because it provides transitional space between the patio proper and the surface of the water.

People like to sit on pool coping and dangle their feet in the water. Others prefer to stand on its edge at night and peer over into the depths of water illuminated by underwater lights. Its horizontal surface area can be either very thick or very thin, but it must always be sufficiently strong to support the full weight of the human body due to the tendency of people to use it as a support structure.
