Transform your pool area with these DIY pool coping stones! In this video, I show you step-by-step how to install pool coping stones, position terrace slabs, and build a platform to create a seamless transition to my outdoor kitchen. Whether you're renovating a concrete block pool or just looking for inspiration, this project has plenty of tips and tricks to help you get started.
Here’s what I cover in this video:
✅ Unpacking and prepping seven pallets of pool coping stones and terrace slabs.
✅ Laying and gluing pool coping stones flush to the edge for a professional finish.
✅ Adjusting joints, cutting stones, and ensuring proper alignment for a clean look.
✅ Creating a platform to connect the pool area to the outdoor kitchen and adding posts for a sun sail.
✅ Tips for grouting pool coping stones to prevent water loss and secure the stones in place.
✅ Leveling and laying terrace slabs on gravel for proper drainage and frost protection.
I also touch on handling challenges like uneven pool edges, choosing durable materials, and applying joint compounds effectively. Whether you're using gravel, experimenting with grouting techniques, or adjusting terrace slabs, this video has all the details you need to enhance your outdoor space.

Why should the coping stones protrude?
A protrusion of approx. 5 cm prevents water from spilling out of the pool and being lost. This keeps the water where it belongs and the pool area clean and dry.
