I'm trying to cut costs without looking cheap. I'm pretty handy so I'm doing a lot of the stuff myself, but I'm going to hire someone to do a two foot deck around the edges, butted up to existing concrete, hence the small (two foot) deck. I've heard some bad things about doing a single pour, deck and cantilever coping. Any experiences? It's such a small deck I can't see it making much of a difference. So my question is, would it be less expensive to have a two foot deck poured, and Ill do a bull-nose brick coping myself, or to just have all three feet single poured with the cantilever? I'd prefer the cantilever single pour but not if there is a large cost difference. Also, if I go single pour, what should they use between the gunite shell and the cantilever to allow the coping to move freely without cracking?
