Overview:
Coverstar reusable coping forms are designed to be used with
Coverstar encapsulation. There are three different coping forms shapes
available. In our one piece forms, there
are either a Cantilever or Inclined shape.
The 1 piece forms will provide a concrete pour that is 2 ½ inches above the
encapsulation. In our two pieces forms, there is a Cantilever shape
available. The two piece form will
provide a concrete pour that is 3 ½ inches above the encapsulation.
Procedure:
Install the encapsulation to the top of the pool wall around
three sides of the pool. No
encapsulation is needed on the side of the pool where the cover mechanism will
be installed. When not using a premade
encapsulation corner, cut 45 degree angles on the ends of the encapsulation to
create a 90 degree corner. Continue
installing full lengths of encapsulation to complete the encapsulation
installation.
Using the precut coping form pieces and hardware, assemble
the coping form corners. To do this,
slide an anchor plate that includes a pem stud into the splice channel on the
back side of the precut form pieces.
Bring the cut pieces together to form a 90 degree corner. Slide the angled bracket with the slots over
the pem studs and secure them using nylock nuts.
Slide the assembled corners into the encapsulation and raise
them up, so the tongue and groove between the coping form and the encapsulation
will interlock.
Insert spacers under the coping forms to keep them raised
and in the interlocked position.
Slide a splice into the splice channel on the back side of
the coping forms. This splice will help
keep the forms running straight where two form pieces come together.
Begin adding 6 ft lengths of coping form, splices and spacers
as you work your way away from the corners.
Depending on the pool size, you may need to cut some forms
for them to fit properly.
The forms are painted to protect the aluminum from the
concrete. The paint will also aid in the
release of the form, but it is recommended that you apply a concrete release to
the forms before pouring the concrete.
After pouring the concrete deck, remove the spacers from the
under the form and remove the forms. The
forms can be cleaned and reused on the next job.
