Replace the existing coping with a horizontal aluminum liner receiver track by either Cardinal or Cinderella. These tracks are very small in height so you can run either your concrete or wood/composite deck over them.
See the HM-1 or HM-2 at http://Coping.CinderellaInc.com
Purchase it at:
www.poolpartsandsupplies.com and look under "INGROUND POOLS" and then subheading "ALUMINUM LINER TRACK" or "ALUMINUM LINER TRACK BY CARDINAL"

Yes, but if you use aluminum track be sure to ground each section or it will oxdize. PVC would be better..

∙ 12y agoAssuming we are not talking about a vinyl pool. The PVC strip above the tile, below the coping is there to form a seal. It's porpous is to keep water from seeping behind the bond beam and into the ground beneath the deck. Over time it will get brittle and break. It can only be replaced by removing the coping. You can repair it by trimming it back and replace it with a silicone caulk, or "Dec-O-Seal" (or similar)

What is better in a saltwater pool PVC or aluminum coping?
PVC won't get eaten like alum.
Can the PVC coping be replaced with new PVC coping on an inground pool built in the mid 70's?
Pool coping can only be replaced by cutting the concrete at least a foot back from the coping and busting that section out. If it were me, I wouldn't replace it with PVC, I would go with aluminum. Because of this, a new liner will most likely be needed. My pool was built in '74. The liner needs to be replaced and the coping looks awful. I have been told by 2 pool repair men that the concrete will have to be "busted up" and also replaced. I was told "Liner Lock" is used to hold the new liner onto the old coping and it should last until the liner needs to be replaced again. So, I asked if there was something out there to cover the coping since it looked so bad. One of them says he will check into it for me but I have not heard back yet. I AM IN THE SAME SITUATION WITH A 30 YEAR OLOD POOL. I AM ONLY LOOKING TO PURCHASE THE 4 ALUMINUM CORNERS IF SOMEONE DECIDES TO GET RID OF THEM TO ADD NEWER COPING PLEASE CONTACT ME AT WGJ48@AOL.COM. THANKS, BILL

Can you use PVC for pool slide legs?
I believe you can use polyvinyl chloride, more commonly called PVC, as the legs to a pool slide only if the PVC is solid not hollow like the pipes that PVC is commonly used for. If you cannot get solid PVC rods, then stick to stainless steel.
Is pvc a good choice for pool furniture construction?
