What happens here
Install the coping around the edge of the swimming pool. Coping provides a finished edge to the pool and typically overhangs slightly into the pool, offering a safe and comfortable surface. This involves carefully setting coping stones or pavers in a mortar bed, ensuring a slight slope away from the pool for drainage. Each piece must be precisely aligned and leveled. The video shows a worker attending to the pool edge, performing 'something with the coping'.
Goal: Securely install the coping around the pool edge, providing a finished and safe transition.
