We are building a geometric pool and our coping was just put in. Problem is that one side looks okay when you look at the space between the coping and waterline tile, but the other side looks like Crud!! not happy!! The coping is chipped and uneven sizes which makes the gap between the waterline tile and coping not even too! Ugh!
We spoke to our pool guy and he said he had only put in that type of coping one other time before and did not know that this is how it would look. He told us that the gap between the coping and waterline tile is b/c they had to level off the coping to slop down away from the pool. (ummm...ok?) When we put the level on it it was level!! Problem is the cement is already put in around the coping and ready to have porcelain pavers put in. Pool builder said it would take a lot of labor(which i'm thinking he would charge us for it when he really shouldn't) to tear the coping out and it might even possibly damage our tiles and delay everything else! We don't care about the delay. What we want is for our investment to be put in correctly! He said when the whole pool is done we wouldn't even notice it b/c we would be looking at the whole pool and not just the tile and coping, but honestly we don't think we will forget b/c we will see it every time we are in the pool!
I have enclosed pics. You can see the uneven sizes of the coping and the large gap between the tile and coping. The other side of the pool is not this bad.
