What happens here
With the concrete slab cured, the next step is to meticulously install the dark grey coping pieces around the entire perimeter of the pool. This process is shown to be laborious, requiring multiple workers and precise attention to detail. Each coping stone is carefully positioned, measured, and leveled to ensure a perfectly straight and consistent edge around the pool. A specialized adhesive or thin-set mortar designed for outdoor and wet environments is typically used to secure the coping to the concrete. Workers are seen using levels for accuracy and a leaf blower to clean the surfaces before placement.
Goal: Create a finished, level, and safe edge around the pool using coping stones.
