Pool Edging

A Cleaner Edge.
A Better Finish.

For Any Pool. Any Shape. Any Size.

Pool Tools supplies and installs high-quality pool edging systems — or delivers DIY-ready edging forms if you’re managing the build yourself.

From fibreglass to concrete, sharp modern lines to flowing freeform designs, our pool edging solutions are made to suit real Australian builds.

What Exactly Is Swimming Pool Edging?

Pool edging is the finished outer edge that frames your pool — creating a clean transition between the pool structure and the surrounding surface like paving, decking, or turf.

It’s where structure meets landscaping. And when it’s done right, it makes the whole backyard feel intentional.

What It Does

Pool edging secures the top of the pool structure, protects the shell perimeter, and defines the visual boundary of the water. It prevents soil movement, supports paving, and gives your outdoor space a solid frame.

What It Does

Why It Matters

Without proper edging, you risk movement, cracking, uneven finishes, and drainage issues. Good edging protects your investment — and makes everything around it look better.

Why It Matters

Where It Goes

Pool edging sits directly around the top perimeter of the pool — tying the shell into the surrounding landscaping. It connects water to outdoor living space in one seamless line.

Where It Goes

For Fibreglass & Concrete

Foam Pool Edging Forms — Create a Seamless Finish

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.

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