A metal parapet coping caps a masonry wall finished with a waterproofing membrane sloped one-quarter inch per foot. A treated two-by wood nailer sits atop the wall, paired with a wood fiber tapered edge strip to establish the drainage slope. The metal coping is secured by a continuous metal cleat and gasketed fasteners spaced per specifications, with one-quarter by four-inch masonry screw anchors installed at twelve inches on center staggered. The waterproofing membrane extends below the nailer for moisture protection.
