I have a free form gunite pool the CT. I purchased the house and the pool was there in decent shape. I had the tiles that were there for 20 years replace by a contractor and the following season they all popped off.
I am very handy and plan on redoing the job myself. I know how to set the tiles and prepare the surface. The pool has a free form concrete coping. Do I need to place a flange to allow the coping to move without popping the tiles. My suspicion is that the last contractor did not and in the winter the decking moves enough in the winter and summer causing the tiles to pop. Is that accurate or should I just use the group righ tot he edge of the concrete coping?
It looks like there is an old flange from the original installation.
Thanks for your help
