Pool Coping Space?

[glamgirl]

I hope this is the right place for this question. Can anyone tell me if this space between the patio and coping is supposed to be there? There are spaces like it on other parts of the pool as well. Thank you.

Welcome to TFP.

Is this a new pool build?

What type of pool?

It looks like the deck has not been installed yet.

What is the full story?
