Laying large coping stones on a 12 foot Victorian wall.

The stones were hand made by myself and the video shows how to embed them on the wall top. I have made videos of how to make the stones a few months back, scroll down on my channel if you want to see it.

Thanks for the video on pulleys. I am now about to test this in the attic. Plenty of record boxes to elevate!

[@yeltsinsirob3144]

Dude, your scaffolding is scary!

[@felixbrunner5707]

Only 7 feet off the ground so no sweat 😄

[@preacherjohn]

Good job mate! Take care on that wobbly scaffold! :)

[@chuckmac3994]

Awesome, somebody who actually speaks. Don't know how you managed that 40kg slab.

[@felixbrunner5707]

Thanks , I manage barely and am aching every day I do it but hey ho.

[@chuckmac3994]

@@felixbrunner5707 have a wee similar job coming up, going to make sure we get the smallest stones we can!

[@felixbrunner5707]

I made those myself as small as I could including a 5; cm overlap each side, my wal is 35 cm thick so that makes for the the large size stones. Good luck with your jop.

[@chuckmac3994]

@@felixbrunner5707 Awesome, we'll just be trying to source the smallest locally. Take it you need a drip grove either side to help shed rain?

[@felixbrunner5707]

Ideally yes, I did desist as it's an old wall with many stones sill intact and 150 years ago they did not use them when they built the wall
The main reason for them is that water does not enter at the top of the wall as it would wash out the bricks in a couple of decades of you leave them exposed at the top.

thank you

[@felixbrunner5707]

You are most welcome

[@tough2lie382]

Good job. I need to relay the loose caps on my garden wall. I am wondering do I need to use a building line, or will a long straight edge do?.

[@felixbrunner5707]

Line is better especially for long walls

im lost for words

[@felixbrunner5707]

Hope you found your words again😄

How much it cost to lay coping stone?

[@felixbrunner5707]

depends on Qoantity and qualty requirements

[@zaporojanr]

@@felixbrunner5707 on top of the house on the parapet around 500meters, about the quality is not the best but to normal

[@felixbrunner5707]

@@zaporojanr depends on how wide the wall is, really

[@zaporojanr]

Parapet with double skin (22 cm)

[@gary24752]

No drip groove, no flashing and no setting pins. I will have to say na on this one.

[@felixbrunner5707]

These are a replacement for sand stone coping stones and are layed in-between , so no dripping groove just lay them as the once 180 years ago were layed . This wall will be listed in future years .

Poor!! no primer, when filling end joint it will smudge and leave a stain, put mortar on first then tidy it when dryer

[@felixbrunner5707]

Building for 50 years, mate, primer you what, work tiddly and no need for primer.

[@959795]

So have I it's still poor practice plus your hop up is unsafe
