I love greyish coloured/weathered looking timber. I have done a concept design called "beach house" where I used the same coloured timber decking....I love it! Images are on my Houzz profile and website if you want to look. All the best :)

That's a beautiful finish and blends so well with the surrounding tiles. I'm curious what the coping tiles looked like before...are they the yellowish ones that are being painted in the 1st photo, or is that prep work being done? May I ask what was used to prepare the surface so paint would adhere? Great job!

Hi Emma. As mentioned above, you can select a porcelain tile that is suitable for outdoor use. This can then be installed as your paving, coping and waterline similar to below. I would suggest 100-150mm of waterline tile as below. Otherwise we have installed pavers such as Anston or Stone Outdoors and then matched the colour with a porcelain waterline tile. https://www.anston.com.au/products/pool-coping-step-coping/ https://www.concreteredefined.com.au/pool/ Good luck with your project!

Agree, i had a light sandstone and loved it current pool is more terracotta tiles and copers and is a bit hot in the sun to be honest
