A metal parapet coping caps the top of a concrete masonry unit wall, sloping one quarter inch per foot toward the interior. A wood fiber tapered edge strip sits beneath the coping to establish the slope over a treated two by wood nailer. A waterproofing membrane extends below the nailer and is secured by quarter inch by four inch masonry screw anchors installed at twelve inches on center staggered. Gasketed fasteners with spacing per specifications secure the exterior edge to the nailer. A continuous metal cleat engages the interior drip edge of the coping.
