Pool Coping 24x72

The 24x72 collection is sold as treads and caps rather than standard coping: 2"-thick eased-edge slabs, 24" deep and 6 ft long, in marble and travertine. They are used for pool steps, seat walls, spa surrounds and wide pier caps. Sold per pallet or per piece. Sizing and use notes are below the products.

24x72 eased-edge treads and caps for pools and walls

At 24" by 72" this is the largest piece we cut, and it is listed as a tread/cap because that is how it gets used. One slab covers 6 linear feet and 12 square feet, so a 6 ft wide pool entry step is a single stone with no joints, a 12 ft seat wall is two pieces, and a spa wall or an outdoor kitchen pier gets capped with no seams to grout. Every piece is 2" thick and eased edge: a slightly softened square edge that reads modern, unlike the rounded bullnose on 16x48 coping.

Where it works and where it does not

It belongs on straight lines. There is no cutting a 6 ft slab around a curve, and it is heavy enough that setting needs two people and a clear path from the curb, so check the pallet weight on the product page before ordering and read the LTL freight guide. For a full-depth cap on the pool edge itself, most builders use 24x36 coping for coping and 24x72 for the steps and walls, since both are 2" and 24" deep and the top surfaces line up. The deck behind should be 2" 24x48 pavers or 24x24 pavers so the 24" module carries through. Marble is leather or sandblasted in Tundra Grey, Ice White, Ibiza White, Bursa White, Corsica Cream, Diane Royal and Ocean Blue; travertine comes in Ivory, Walnut, Noce, Silver, Silver River, Silver Alaska and Country Classic. The same slabs appear under wall caps for non-pool projects.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a 24x72 tread and pool coping?

The stone and finish are the same; the difference is the job. A tread or cap is a 24 inch deep, 6 foot long, 2 inch slab used on steps, seat walls and piers, while coping caps the pool beam. Many pools use 24x36 coping at the water and 24x72 treads on steps and walls.

Is the 24x72 available in bullnose or 1-1/4 inch?

No. Every 24x72 piece is eased edge and 2 inches thick. If you need a bullnose at long length, the 16x48 coping is bullnose; for a 1-1/4 inch piece you would step down to the 16x24 or 12x24 sizes.

How many 24x72 pieces for a set of pool steps?

Measure each step's width in feet and divide by 6 for the number of slabs per step, then multiply by the number of steps. A 12 foot wide entry with three steps needs six slabs. Add one spare in case a piece is damaged in handling on site.
