CANTILEVERED CONCRETE POOL COPING EXPOSED OR POLISHED
Pool with Custom Cantilevered Concrete Coping
Suppose you plan to install an in-ground pool, whether concrete or fibreglass. One crucial design element that can elevate the look and functionality of your pool is the pool coping. At Adelaide Concrete, we specialize in providing custom cantilevered concrete pool coping that enhances your pool’s visual appeal and offers long-lasting durability and ease of maintenance.
What is Cantilevered Pool Coping?
Cantilevered pool coping refers to the concrete edge that projects outward, creating an overhanging lip around the perimeter of your pool. This design is particularly popular for its sleek, modern appearance and how it seamlessly integrates with the surrounding pool deck, creating a cohesive and polished look. The overhanging edge also serves practical purposes by helping to keep debris out of the pool and providing a comfortable surface for sitting or resting by the poolside.
Advantages of Cantilevered Concrete Pool Coping
Opting for cantilevered concrete pool coping comes with several advantages:
- Aesthetic Appeal
- Modern Design: Cantilevered coping offers a contemporary and sophisticated look that complements a wide range of pool designs, from minimalist modern styles to more traditional settings.
- Seamless Integration: The coping creates a continuous edge around the pool, making it an integral part of the overall pool design rather than an add-on feature.
- Durability and Longevity
- Robust Material: Concrete is known for its strength and resilience, making it an ideal material for pool coping that will withstand the test of time.
- Weather Resistance: Concrete coping is resistant to the harsh Australian climate, including extreme heat, UV radiation, and heavy rain, ensuring it remains in excellent condition year after year.
- Safety and Comfort
- Smooth Edges: The cantilevered design creates a smooth, rounded edge that is safer for swimmers, reducing the risk of injury.
- Comfortable to Touch: Concrete coping can be finished in various textures, ensuring it is comfortable to sit on or touch, even on hot days.

Maintenance and Care Tips
While cantilevered concrete pool coping is low-maintenance, following a few simple care tips can help keep it looking its best for years to come:
- Regular Cleaning: Keep the coping clean by rinsing it with water and using a mild detergent if needed. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Sealing: Consider sealing the concrete to protect it from stains and weathering. This is particularly important if you choose a coloured or exposed aggregate finish.

Pool renovation with a honed pool surround
- Pool Renovation: This involves various updates or improvements to an existing swimming pool. Renovations can range from structural repairs to aesthetic upgrades, like updating the pool’s surface, tiles, or surrounding area.
- Honed Pool Surround: “Honed” refers to the finish of the concrete. A honed finish is a smooth, matte surface achieved by grinding down the concrete and exposing the aggregate. It’s different from polished concrete, which has a shiny, reflective surface. Honed concrete is slip-resistant, durable, and aesthetically pleasing, making it a popular choice for pool surrounds.
Benefits of a Honed Pool Surround:
- Aesthetics: Provides a sleek, modern look with a smooth, matte finish.
- Slip Resistance: The texture offers better grip, making it safer around wet areas like pools.
- Durability: It’s highly resistant to weather and wear, ensuring longevity.
- Low Maintenance: Easy to clean and maintain, which is ideal for high-traffic areas.
Renovating your pool with a honed pool surround can significantly enhance the overall look and functionality of the pool area.
