    Cracked Coping Tiles From Cold?

    Is there a way to remedy this- for example change the material on that side- different stone etc… what’s the correction that I can do that you know or who I may discuss with? Possible flex travertine for that 10’ space?

    Cracked Coping Tiles From Cold?

    Is there Thank you- it appears the deck side is “lifting” a touch and that is what is causing the cracks since it’s the entire length of the pieces- all in the same general area- if I replace them again is there a different type of stone or different practice to prevent this in the future or...

    Cracked Coping Tiles From Cold?

    Just had a corner crack off , so I’ll more than likely do some minor repair myself- (epoxy- grout/caulk) to last over the winter and then replace the whole side in the summer when it’s warm

    Delay to Build Vinyl Pool

But this is a project you...

    How do you aerate? I’ve read some threads but not sure “building” a pvc add on works in my situation . I have two fountains that bubble up on my ledge - does that count as aeration by increasing the output of the fountains ?
