Hi everyone,

I am under construction in socal. 30 x 15' pool with a 3' raised bond beam on one side to retail a slope.

We just had our coping poured on a fairly hot day last Friday. Today I noticed that are about 8 hairline cracks forming between the joints, 7 of them are on top of the RBB and one on the spa.

Is this normal? Should I ask the pb to redo? They said its not an issues and it happens. I know all concrete cracks but seems excessive. They used 3500 PSI concrete with "some" fiber.

Welcome to TFP.

When you do poured in place concrete you accept the risks of cracks. That is what concrete does.

Precast coping is used if you want flawless coping.
