Hi all. Fairly new pool owner. Haven’t actually used it yet!

R,
Not normal for a new pool, but after a few years it is not unusual for the decking or coping to get pushed up by the ground..
The only choice is to fill the gap full of caulk or remove it and have it reset or replaced.
Thanks,
Jim R.

Pool is 20 years old. I moved not this house October of last year and never got to enjoy the pool.
Well it's encouraging to know this is normal.
Should I hire a professional pool builder or is this as simple as me just filling it with something like sad or maybe rubber backing and then filling the outer edge with some kind of chlorine, UV resistant caulking?

R,
That is the type of product you would need.. or you could just fill it with grout which would cost a lot less.
