    Coping choice

    Hello! We are in the beginning stages of getting a pool. We are in the North Fort Worth area and I’m having trouble making a coping decision. We can choose between Oklahoma Flagstone or Lueders. I like the look/white color of the lueders but would like to hear opinions on both!
