Concrete coping vs. rim lock coping

[induce]

We loved our concrete coping. It was really perfect. Ask your builder if he does this alot and if he is good at it. Although that may seem like a silly question to ask a builder, the concrete coping is difficult to do. They use a styfoam form that the concrete flows into and makes the ledge. The builder cannot "see" into the form, so if it is not totally full and even, then your coping is uneven or worse. I think that is why most builders are using pavers as a alt to rim lock coping.

Thanks for the replies. I will ask about the pavers.

Concrete copying is an excellent way to shape your pool, i would think because it is more uniform with the deck, and overall shape of your pool. I work with the styrafoam, and it has worked amazingly. It all depends on who the company is that will be doing it, and how much time they wait before taking it off once it stiffens, tamping it in the front and using a piece of the actual form to seal and fix inperfections. By the way Sean, may i ask who is builind your pool? Because i see your from NJ too?
