Pool Coping

Pool Coping That Looks Seamless

For Any Pool. Any Shape. Any Size.

Pool Tools supply and install high-quality pool coping systems — or deliver DIY-friendly coping forms if you’re building it yourself.

From fibreglass to concrete, square to freeform, our coping solutions work across the board. And yes, we’ve seen it all.

What Exactly Is Swimming Pool Coping?

Pool coping is the border that finishes the top edge of your pool — creating a clean transition between the shell and the surrounding surface.

It’s not just cosmetic. Proper coping protects the pool structure, helps manage water runoff, and keeps sharp edges out of the equation.

What It Does

It locks in the pool shell, manages runoff, prevents water ingress, and frames your pool visually. Without coping, the job feels incomplete.

What It Does

Why It Matters

Quality coping stops cracks, sharp edges, shifting tiles, and drainage issues before they start. It holds everything together — structurally and visually.

Why It Matters

Where It Goes

Pool coping sits directly over the bond beam — tying your shell to the surrounding paving, deck, or lawn. It’s both a finish and a functional joint.

Where It Goes

Materials & Profiles

We supply high-density foam coping forms — flexible enough for curves, strong enough for straight runs, and easy to cut and shape on-site.

Materials & Profiles

For Fibreglass & Concrete

Our foam pool coping forms are designed for both fibreglass and concrete pools — ideal for new installs, renos, or pro landscaping projects.

For Fibreglass & Concrete

Foam Pool Coping Forms — Make It Seamless

Foam coping forms are pre-shaped moulds that define the edge of your pool during a concrete pour.

They’re lightweight, easy to cut, and make it possible to create smooth, custom-shaped coping — from sharp square lines to curved kidney edges — without tiles or multiple materials.

Your Pool Coping Questions Answered

Pool coping is the finished edge that sits on top of the pool shell, while edging is often used to describe the surrounding paving or decorative trim.

Coping serves both structural and safety purposes — edging is more cosmetic.

Absolutely. Foam coping forms are ideal for fibreglass pools — they help you create clean, uniform edges with minimal hassle, especially on freeform shapes where pre-cut coping won’t fit.

Foam coping forms are secured to the pool beam, shaped to follow the pool contour, and braced before the concrete pour.

Once the concrete sets, the forms are removed, leaving a smooth edge ready for sealing or finishing.

Yes — if your existing coping is damaged, mismatched, or sinking, we can remove it and install new coping using our foam form system. It’s an ideal option for pool renovations.

Yes. We deliver foam pool coping forms Australia-wide. Whether you’re in Perth, Brisbane, or regional NSW — we’ll get it to you, job-ready.
