Aluminum bullnose coping misaligned

Hi, New to the forum. replacing liner in a new home to us and found one coping joint that has become misaligned. Is there a relatively easy solution for this situation? Thanks!!

Ben has to tell you how to send pictures.

I'm facing a similar problem and am using 36" quick-clamps to move them back into position. But have something to clamp it to--the way my deck is set up, and I need to put in new screws, too.

Yeah the picture thing didn't work. It's inground and the bullnose is incorporated into the concrete decking. There will be a 1 cm lip in the vinyl that can't be good for longevity of the liner. I imagine I will need to cut the coping and concrete and place a new segment? Yuck

Sorry, I'm not familiar with how to handle the concrete.

How do you get rid of the restrictions so I can see if this thing works?

Thanks!!

If you mean moderation (waiting period before your post appears), those issues were covered in the registration notice. There will be some new options coming up, however.

Regarding your coping -- if you look, you can see that the deck is formed INTO the coping. I don't know of any practical way to move or adjust that coping. If you can find a piece of matching coping somewhere, you could cut off a slice, trim it to fit, and then cement it into the gap.

Wonder if it's been misaligned since the concrete was poured...and pushed the coping out there?????

Thanks gents!

sawsall and angle grinder it is. Hope to find some scrap coping this week. Appreciate the help.

Also is there really a great risk of collpase with the water out? The pool was built in 1979, 18x37 grecian. very large poured concrete decking that hopefully keep moisture out from behind the vertical walls. This repair and some other small wall repairs as well as liner replacement will require 1 week with water out. it has been down below the vertical walls for the past day without any visible issues.

thanks!!

I can't make structural calls, without actually seeing the pool -- and even then it would only be an educated guess. If you want to provide a full set of photos of the pool and site, we can offer 'semi-educated' guesses. ;)

Ok here we go
