Coping installed tomorrow and need answer tonight please!

11 years ago

Our pool has been taking forever (won't go into the story now) but travertine 6x12 pavers were delivered along with some that were wrapped. I assumed it was the coping. Well, PB came by today to discuss with paver guys what design I'm doing (herringbone) and I found out that the regular 6x12 pavers are being used for coping. I asked about that as I thought that coping was meant to have a rounded edge. he said, "coping is just the way its installed". So, I didn't get a choice on coping and am concerned about a regular paver being rough and snagging bathing suits. This pool should have been done already and now I am freaking out. Why didn't they give me a choice on coping? I didn't know until this afternoon. We live in the Tampa Bay area and got our travertine from stone-mart. We had to upgrade to Travertine when Flagstone made an inventory error on our concrete pavers and was told it was going to be 4+ weeks. Please tell me that we won't have any problems using regular 6x12 tumbled travertine for our coping? I mean, this stuff has holes in it, edges not necessarily even... I'm just sick! (FYI we purchased the Silver Select Travertine)
