We are getting an inground vinyl saltwater pool this summer and I'm curious which coping would hold up best to the saltwater and is easiest to maintain. We are debating between concrete cantilever coping or the standard white aluminum coping that comes w/most liner pools (but we'd be getting gray instead of white).
I've never had a saltwater pool and have heard that it can erode things but I'm not sure how true that is. How well do each of them hold up against SW? I'm guessing the aluminum coping would be easier to replace if it was damaged/eroded. I really love the look of the cantilever though....I've heard cantilever can crack or chip and end up looking bad if not done properly.
So which holds up best in general? Which tolerates saltwater best? Would love to hear views/pros/cons. Thanks!
