\u00a0POOL COPING STONE\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A combination of two words \u201cPool + Coping\u201d Where the pool is the area of still water, either in-ground or above ground.<\/p>\n

Coping refers to the coverings of a particular part of an area – material used to cap the pool shell wall. In the architecture\u2019s world, coping is the protective cap on the top of the pool wall.<\/p>\n

Coping may be done with the course of brick, mortar or any other material. Collectively, pool coping means covering the edges of the swimming pool.<\/p>\n
