Fitting capping/coping stones on a parapet wall

[@Ladybug-uf7uh]

Improvising a permanent solution that works is most satisfying. Than You for explaining and then showing how you are doing the coping stones. Excellent work as always!

[@chriskildun8810]

Great to see you’re still ‘coping’. First class, thank you.

[@rooftop8339]

Invest in a pair of safety glasses,especially when using a grinder with no guard fitted. Safety first or you might regret it.

[@francisforshaw1659]

Once again. Excellent job. I wish I had seen this last year could have saved a lot of money on precast stone once weathered coping stones on my orangery build.

I watched 24 hours in a&e the other day, the chap had a cut 1 cm deep cut in his face that spanned across his cheek and beside his nose, luckily missing his eyes and the main artery, as a few have already mentioned, Safety goggles.

[@quickyxxx5814]

Excellent video. many thanks brother.

[@whitefields5595]

May be better if the last slab was not cut. I would have ended with a full slab and moved the cut somewhere else. Also maybe set slabs so the run-off is only one way, best onto the roof as I doubt there is a gutter on the far side.

[@iainmacinnes1660]

Those slabs were definitely the answer here. 👍

[@admodz3292]

great stuff, thinking outside of the box, and still making it look sweet. good idea as material shortage, plus nice cost difference

[@damdamdam8346]

Great solution

[@goldenineke]

Good solution. Building supplies must be rather critical there!

[@aminbenkura4035]

Thank you Darren you are a legend
I really wanted to know how you did the side flashing many thanks

[@andybrace4983]

Looks sick bro.......thinking out the box

[@jancarpenter1589]

Nice job!

[@petereyre5188]

Looks neat 👌👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@wandaroach765]

Very clever 👍

[@George.Coleman]

Molten slab in your eyes feels mildly unpleasant. Wear safety goggles.

[@themudhutt1]

Smart !!
As usual clever solution!
Don’t really understand how the flashing is going to work . Looking forward to watching

[@barrydoherty636]

Protect your eyes.

[@jmfarrell5]

Great job. 👏🏻👏🏻 Interesting how you place what I think is slate over the cavity, followed by a membrane. Question: (I can’t tell from the camera angle) Did you pitch the cement capping stones towards the roof? Assuming a slight pitch so the rain doesn’t pool or run down towards the neighbors next door.

[@darrenthebuilder]

Hi yes I pitched them slightly towards the roof

[@wabbingtonwabby.]

Do you just cut the dpc in line with brick edge or leave a little overhang.

[@smrfingers]

Where can I purchase this slate?

[@LDNBikes]

Great job as always

[@wkevant357]

Lose your eye sight, then we can’t watch your excellent vids!! Please family, safety goggles. I’ve seen it happen. Good job by the way!

[@matthewingham7806]

Hi mate is it a good idea to lap the dpm over the cavity

[@coop_coop007]

Timely, I looked up at my parapet this morning and saw a tree growing out of it, that'll require a reset in the late autumn rainshine then . . .

[@leedrummond164]

Haha. Happens a lot.

[@davedavids2231]

Regs is dpc lapped into roof membrane min 150mm above roof, yours looks 75mm

[@baldyslapnut.]

Could you not use inslated cavity closers here, then DPC over that and then coping? I like your work ethic all the same, keep it going.

[@darrenthebuilder]

I guess so but it does need to be rigged and slate is a better choice I believe

[@shaunyale6973]

That's what I done . Then a cavity tray and then instead of flashing I put rubber roof up and over and connected it to the cavity tray so it cant fail

[@ThePistol1977]

Where did you get the slate composite from cheers 🍻

[@spencebespokedreams]

Where can I get the paint on fiberglass please its exactly what I need

[@goslinggosling]

💥💥💥💥

[@Boatlife1964]

Please please never use a grinder without safety glasses.

[@amcluesent]

Does cement stick to DPC?

[@darrenthebuilder]

Yes
