Where can you find fiberglass or plastic pool coping to cantilever over your existing aluminum coping?
It depends on the pool make. The only one I know of that offers a plastic "coping cover" is Pacific Pools, now owned by Latham Plastics in Latham, NY and it is only for their older "Garden Pools". Your aluminum coping can easily be reconditioned with an epoxy spray paint from the hardware store. If there are defects, fill them with a two-part epoxy putty and sand it to blend with the rest of the coping before painting. Mask the coping off with painter's tape to keep from painting the deck or liner. Hank4pools@aol.com

Why would one side of gunite pool drop one inch below deck after a hard freeze and after rewarming pop back up also now have horizontal crack running along both ends will HO cover this?
I have a feeling that what happened to you is exactly what happened to me, but it's not the gunite that dropped. Your pool deck rose. I wondered the same thing. It's kind of an optical illusion. The ground froze under the decking and caused it to push up. Thank goodness for that expansion joint between the decking and the coping, or my coping would have all broken off into the pool. We had a few little edges crack off which will require some minor repair, but like yours, our decking did go back down after a few days of warmer weather. Scared the you-know-what out of me when I first saw it, though. My pool guy said that the gunite is so thick, it's not going anywhere. Good luck!
