In Between Coping Stones

[PoolDoc]

Les,

Your problem is that you are asking a question hardly anyone could answer.

The person you are looking for is an experienced, honest, and competent concrete pool builder who works in an area with significant freezing, who's computer literate, but who is not so busy that they can't even think about participating in a pool forum.

In other words, you are looking for someone who probably doesn't even exist!

Most concrete pools are built in Florida or California (no freezing), or are commercial pools (no coping in the last 25 years).

I've done a tiny amount of work with coping . . . but it's always been one-off work that's *seemed* to work, but I didn't check back after 5 years, either. So, I don't know either.

And, all my regular mods (Watermom, Poconos, CarlD, Aylad) have vinyl pools, as do most of the regular posters. Chem Geek has a concrete pool . . . in California, where it doesn't freeze.

Unfortunately, I don't think there's anywhere you can go online, ask your question, and be confident of getting a good answer. I suspect your best bet is to hire a local mason with outdoor tile (not necessarily pool tile) experience to figure it out and get you started.

Wait ............. Isn't Poconos the irregular mod?

I understand that yogurt and fiber help with that!
