When determining the size of wall cap that needs to be used, obtain the width size by measuring the wall’s width and then add as a minimum 3/4″ on all sides for overhang. An overhang will shield the wall underneath as it will let the water to drip off of the edge. For instance, an 8″ wall would require as a minimum a 9 5/8″ wide coping.

By all means, these concrete precast wall caps will definitely add aesthetics and strength to your wall project.
