Abstract: A step support brace especially for a swimming pool stair assembly includes vertically extending positioning posts that extend from the top of each horizontal riser portion of the brace associated with a stair tread some or all of which are slidably positionable from front to back along the respective horizontal riser portion to accommodate various stair module types and styles. The posts may also be cut off to a desired length in order to be received within an opening formed in the bottom side of the stair tread. The support brace also has a front hinge structure that allows the hingeable connection to another support brace to form a V-shaped configuration, thereby providing greater stair tread support if necessary.

Abstract: A coping assembly for use in a swimming pool includes a coping having a longitudinal direction. The coping also has a base with a device for connecting to a sidewall of the pool, a facia connected to the base with a slot extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction, a back wall, and a first through hole extending through the coping from the back wall to the slot. The coping assembly also includes a coupler having a body with a front section. The front section substantially conforms to and is engaged with the back wall of the coping. The coupler has a second through hole extending through the body to the front section. The second through hole is aligned with the first through hole in the coping. The coping assembly further includes a tube light extending through each of the through holes and disposed within the slot.
