Expertly installed pool borders not only boost your patio’s aesthetics, but also provide a slip-resistant surface to avoid accidents. Also called copings, these borders are available in a variety of styles and materials. Below, experts share a list of popular border options to match your taste and requirements.

6 Pool Border Options to Choose From

Bricks

Available in an extensive range of colors, brick copings help create a noticeable boundary between the pool and patio. However, this affordable option is porous and susceptible to faster damage from moisture exposure.

Poured Concrete

The installation process for these borders involves pouring concrete around the pool perimeter to set it apart from the patio. You can take advantage of colored concrete patios to complement your outdoor decor and add to its decorative value.

Cantilevered Decking

Poured concrete can also be used to install cantilevered patios, where decking and coping are laid out in one go. The installation technique helps to create a smooth and seamless look between the deck and the pool.

Precast Concrete

Manufactured in precise factory settings, precast concrete slabs are known for their premium quality and durability. The slabs can be tailored per your specifications but may take several weeks to reach the desired standards. 

Natural Stone

Add a natural touch to your outdoor space by installing slabs made of natural stone around your pool’s boundary. Stone has the ability to produce a slip-resistant surface safe to use around the pool for adults and children alike.

Stamped Concrete

This professional technique involves creating customized markings or stamps on the concrete to improve its appearance. Additionally stamped concrete pool borders provide better grip and balance to guarantee safety around water. You can choose these coping types in the color and design of your own choice.
