Improved apparatus for forming the deck and associated coping of a pool. The pool defines and encloses a central area for receiving and retaining water and includes a substantially vertical wall; a horizontal support surface adjacent to and intersecting the pool wall to define a horizontal edge at the top of the wall; a flexible sheet of waterproof material for lining the pool, the liner having a peripheral edge; and a liner retainer secured to and extending continuously along the horizontal support surface adjacent the horizontal edge of the pool wall and having a channel extending along the length thereof contoured to receive the peripheral edge of the liner, the channel opening toward the central area of the pool. The improved apparatus includes a continuous strip of semirigid material and an elongate member for supporting the strip. The continuous strip of semirigid material includes a facing surface which is positioned below the horizontal edge against the upper portion of the pool wall; a front form surface extending upwardly from the facing surface to form a contoured surface for temporarily supporting concrete poured above the horizontal edge onto the horizontal support surface, the concrete forming a pool deck and coping thereof contiguous to the pool wall when set; and a back wall surface generally opposed to the front form surface and facing the central area of the pool. The elongate support member passes through the strip of semirigid material and is secured to the liner retainer to maintain the semirigid strip in position against the pool wall.
