If you are concreting to lay tiles I was told by our last pool builder (concrete) that it can't abutt the shell of the pool as it can compromise the integrity of the pool. I'm not sure in your case what this means for fiberglass. The main reason people choose coping is easier to climb out if the paver doesn't have an edge and is rounded. This is preference , if it was me i would try to choose a paver with no harsh edge finishes Building McDonald Jones Bronte Manor One Contracts Signed Dec 12 DA Lodged Jan 13 DA Consent w/BAL40 Apr 13.

Re: Pool Tile & Landscaping Confusion - help needed 4Sep 21, 2013 10:21 am Scotty, you just need an expansion joint between shell and slab Landscape Design & Construction http://cherub.squarespace.com/ Re: Pool Tile & Landscaping Confusion - help needed 5Sep 21, 2013 1:36 pm tiling fiberglass waterline involves scoring the jell coat and then as per usual...select the appropriate glue. use any bull-nose / square paving you want. the expansion joint mentioned in previous repy is essential. Re: Pool Tile & Landscaping Confusion - help needed 6Sep 21, 2013 6:17 pm Concrete base is best around pool area square edge or bullnose is your choice. As your pool is already in you can disregard other wrong info regarding gap between pool shell & concrete. Fitting waterline tiles to a fibreglass pool is fine when using the correct adhesive Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ . We had a lot of trial & error with this & now import a product from the us as we had no success with any local products. It is a silicone based adhesive & grout in one .if you are in sydney I can give you my tilers details. Se pic below for a fibreglass pool with tiles Re: Pool Tile & Landscaping Confusion - help needed 7Sep 21, 2013 9:55 pm Thanks a lot for all the info, very useful. We had another landscaper out this morning to give us a quote he suggested we use a road base with pavers but I'm not convinced at all. I just found a concretor near us that does concreting and tiling - so I might call him on Monday and see what he says, he has a lot of similar projects (pool renovations) on his website. We removed all the old pavers, timber decking and pool coping today and there is already a concrete strip at the edge of the fibreglass so it looks like it's too late to add an expansion joint. We are not breaking the termite barrier so I'm not sure what the guy had in mind but he hasn't got back to me with his quote so I'll see what he says. The pictures of the waterline tiles look great, pretty much what we are looking for - light coloured stone pavers with blue mosiacs. We are in Brisbane so I'll see what this concretor says on Monday as he does internal and external tiles too so hopefully he'll know what he is doing (Fingers crossed). Thanks for the offer of your tiler though. I'll try and work out how to post pictures on this and show some photos of the job. Thanks again Hi All, see above image. The required setback from the rear boundary in my case is 5m, as you can see the shape of the site and location of the boundary is slightly… 0 8463 Hmmm, I have checked your past posts and it seems that you are in NSW, not WA as I had thought. It pays to show your State in your avatar.
