Mounting an anchor for safety rope on aluminum coping

[Lmh617]

Hi all, first post here.

Aluminum coping (hollow) and securing anchors for safety rope

What are the best options for the above? Need to install anchors to the coping for a safety rope. I recently had a new concrete deck poured 3 weeks ago, finally have the pool ready and need to install something that’ll hold well against the constant pulling of kids.

I’m concerned about the coping being hollow and simple sheet metal screws not holding up. The coping is hollow so I can’t anchor to anything behind it that I’m aware of.

Any suggestions, ideas? Thanks in advance!

Welcome to TFP.

What type of pool?

Show us pics of your situation and maybe some folks will have ideas.

If you know what type of anchor you're planning on using then also show us a picture of that.

I can only give you insight from what I have on my aluminum coping, which looks to be at least 1/4 inch bolts. They go into the concrete behind the coping and don't budge.
