Coping

frame (3).png
Paver - 2 3/8"-typical. Thickness can change based upon material selection.
Travertine - 1 1/4"
Exposed pool walls, spas, or water features are typically 12" thick. So the coping has to be cut from a wider pieces - usually 16" wide
You also have to factor in veneer thickness for exposed pool beams.
Stucco is approximately 1” thick
Waterline tile is 3/4” thick
Split Stone Veneer is approximately 1 1/2” thick
Long, linear manmade products don’t work well for curved pools unless they are specifically designed as coping for a curved pool. This is because you can not cut the factory edge of a manmade product such as Shellock pavers. In that case you would have to use the Shellock pool coping with the bullnose edge. Natural stones such as travertine or marble can have the edges cut. So they can be used on curved pools.

Indicate approximate width for the front and back sides of the coping
For curved pools that will have the exposed edge of the coping cut, list the edge detail. Either eased edge or full round over
