What happens here
The video shows "coping pieces going around the pool." Pool coping is the material used to cap the edge of the swimming pool, providing a finished look, a safe edge for swimmers, and often an anti-slip surface. These coping stones are typically mortared onto the bond beam of the pool. This step requires careful measurement, cutting, and setting to ensure a smooth, level, and secure edge around the entire pool perimeter.
Goal: Create a finished, safe, and aesthetically pleasing edge around the swimming pool.
