Dover White 12˝ Roman End Set for 5ft Radius

Sophisticated Curved Pool Terminations for Larger Installations

When designing pools with elegant curved endings, the Roman end set provides the ultimate solution for creating seamless, professional transitions from straight pool sides to gracefully curved terminations. The Dover White 12˝ Roman end set for 5ft radius represents the premium choice for larger pool installations requiring substantial visual presence and structural integrity at these critical design focal points.

The Dover White range is specifically designed to replace traditional 9″ and 12″ concrete pre-cast coping stones making them the ideal choice for refurbishments as well as newly constructed pools. This 5ft radius Roman end set creates expansive, flowing curves that transform ordinary rectangular pools into sophisticated architectural features reminiscent of classical Roman bath houses.

Understanding 5ft Radius Applications

Large Pool Installations

The 5ft radius is specifically designed for substantial pool installations where the curved ends need to maintain proportional elegance relative to the overall pool size. Larger pools require more generous curves to achieve the proper visual balance and avoid appearing cramped or undersized.

Enhanced Swimming Areas

The larger radius creates more expansive curved areas at the pool ends, often incorporating steps, seating areas, or spa features. These expanded curved sections provide additional functional space while maintaining the classic Roman pool aesthetic.

Architectural Presence

The 5ft radius creates a more dramatic architectural statement than smaller radius options, making it ideal for pools intended as landscape focal points or for properties where the pool serves as a primary design element.

Premium 12˝ Width Benefits

Substantial Visual Weight

The 12˝ width provides the substantial presence required for larger pool installations. This generous width creates appropriate visual proportion relative to the expanded 5ft radius curves, ensuring the coping doesn’t appear undersized for the application.

Enhanced Structural Support

Larger radius curves require more robust structural support at the transitions between straight and curved sections. The 12˝ width provides the additional material and structural integrity needed for reliable long-term performance.

Expanded Functional Areas

The wider coping provides more surface area for seating, entering, and exiting the pool at the curved ends. This additional space is particularly valuable in the curved sections where families often gather for socializing and relaxation.

Precision Curved Manufacturing

Complex Geometry Requirements

Creating Roman end sets for 5ft radius requires sophisticated manufacturing capabilities to ensure each piece in the set maintains precise curvature while integrating seamlessly with adjacent straight sections. This precision ensures smooth water flow and professional appearance.

Made-to-Order Excellence

Roman end kits are made to order and have a 2 week lead time. This bespoke manufacturing approach ensures each set is crafted specifically for the intended application, providing perfect fit and optimal performance for the specific pool design.

Quality Control Standards

The made-to-order process allows for enhanced quality control, ensuring each piece in the Roman end set meets the exacting standards required for these complex curved transitions that serve as focal points of the pool design.

Superior Sandstone Construction

Natural Material Excellence

Available exclusively from Certikin, Dover White coping stones are made from sandstone and are both functional and modern looking. The natural beauty of sandstone is particularly important for Roman end sets, which often serve as the visual centerpieces of pool installations.

Precision Manufacturing Standards

They are sawn on all six sides ensuring a flat surface all round making them easy to lay as well as preventing the collection of water and dirt on the surface. This precision is critical for Roman end sets where multiple curved pieces must align perfectly to create smooth, continuous curves.

Optimal Surface Treatment

The surface of each stone is also honed to give a smooth finish however the natural suction of the pores in the stone make it slip resistant – a necessity for pool surrounds. This combination is particularly important at pool ends where swimmers often spend extended time sitting or lounging.

Design and Functional Advantages

Classical Aesthetic Appeal

Roman end sets create the distinctive classical pool shape that has been popular for centuries. The 5ft radius provides generous curves that enhance the timeless elegance associated with Roman-style architecture and design.

Improved Pool Circulation

The larger radius curves facilitate better water circulation around the pool perimeter, reducing dead spots and improving overall water quality. This is particularly important in larger pools where circulation efficiency becomes more critical.

Enhanced Safety Features

The gentle 5ft radius curves eliminate sharp corners at pool ends, creating safer environments for swimmers of all ages. The generous curves provide more intuitive navigation and reduce collision risks compared to sharper corner treatments.

Installation and Integration Considerations

Professional Installation Requirements

Roman end sets require experienced installation contractors familiar with curved coping applications. The complex geometry and precision fit requirements make professional installation essential for optimal results.

Structural Coordination

The substantial size and weight of 12˝ Roman end pieces require proper structural support from the pool shell and surrounding deck construction. Coordination with pool contractors ensures adequate support for long-term performance.

System Integration

These Roman end sets integrate seamlessly with Dover White straight coping sections and corner pieces, enabling the creation of complete pool perimeter treatments with consistent material and finish characteristics.

Sealing and Protection Protocol

Enhanced Sealing Requirements

Dover White is a very porous material therefore we highly recommend the application of RPB Patio Sealer to ensure it maintains its beautiful finish. Roman end sets require particular attention during sealing due to their prominent visual role and complex curved surfaces.

Comprehensive Protection Benefits

By applying this product, it will provide a protective repellent layer to stop staining of the stone from water or oil-based dirt as well as other grime. Proper sealing of Roman end sets preserves their appearance and ensures they continue to serve as attractive focal points of the pool design.

Long-term Maintenance

The investment in a premium Roman end set justifies careful attention to sealing and maintenance. Proper initial treatment and periodic maintenance preserve both appearance and performance for decades of service.

Quality Standards and Specifications

Natural Stone Characteristics

Dover White coping stones are made from natural stone therefore there will be variations in colour and texture. These natural variations contribute to the unique character and authenticity that make each Roman end installation distinctive.

Compatibility Verification

To ensure that Dover White copings will be a suitable replacement, please check the dimensions of existing copings and compare with those shown above before ordering. This verification is particularly important for Roman end sets in refurbishment projects.

Professional Installation Standards

It is important the copings are sealed when they are first laid using the recommended product. Roman end sets require special attention during installation due to their complex geometry and prominent visual role.
