What happens here
Two workers are shown actively drilling holes into the newly installed pool coping. One worker uses a piece of wood as a guide or template to ensure accurate placement and spacing of the holes. The other worker operates a hammer drill, making quick work of boring into the masonry. A shop vacuum is placed nearby to collect dust and debris generated during the drilling process, ensuring a clean work area and minimizing dust exposure. These holes are essential for securely mounting a handrail, providing safe entry and exit from the pool.
Goal: Create precise holes in the pool coping to anchor a handrail.
