Hi everybody, I am currently planning the installation of a perimeter overflow system on a San Juan fiberglass pool. I am looking for the best product to use as a channel. I am thinking of using the ACO brick slot drainage system that would be inserted into a bed of concrete then capped with stone coping. This install is in Quebec Canada (frozen ground in the winter) Does anybody have tips for this type of install?

If the ground gets insulated with 4" foam under the concrete perimeter draining chanel, would it help to prevent frost movement over winter ?. Thanks
