Landscape & street furniture · Copings and capstones

Coping and capstone moulds.

Moulds for wall copings, pier caps and capstones — straight and curved, with drips and throatings — for landscape, boundary and heritage walls.

Overview

Copings and capstones, in plain terms.

Copings protect the wall below. The drip and throating are functional, not decorative, and they're the part a mould most often gets wrong.

We form drips as elastomer details that release without breaking the arris.

What sets it apart

Four things that define this route.

01

Straight runs

Adjustable-length moulds with stop-ends.

02

Curved copings

Patterns built to your radius.

03

Pier caps

Weathered and moulded caps.

04

Drips and throatings

Cast in, not cut in.

How we build it

From pattern to released tool.

Straight copings: polyurethane in a rigid box with stop-ends. Curved copings: a pattern per radius, with segment lengths to suit handling.

Where the drip creates an undercut, we use a split or silicone detail.

The honest bit

What to know before you commit.

Every radius needs its own pattern. For several radii on one site, ask us about a flexible approach.

Send us a photograph of the panel or the elevation.

One photograph tells us what surface you're chasing, and one line about the mix tells us what silicone or polyurethane will survive it.
