ABSTRACT:
A coping system for covering the top of a wall comprising an inverted U-shaped cleat which is covered by a coping panel. The cleat has an anchor leg adapted to be secured to a first side of the wall and extends upwardly above the plane of the top of the wall. The top leg of the cleat is secured to the portion extending above the top of the wall and is resiliently biased into engagement with the top of the wall. The cleat overhangs the second side of the wall and has an interior leg extending downwardly from the top leg on the inside of the wall. The cleat is covered by a coping panel which engages the anchor leg of the cleat and is fitted over the top leg and interior leg of the cleat. The cleat and panel are secured together by means of a mechanical fastener on the inside of the wall. The coping system generally includes a plurality of cleats placed at intervals along the wall and adjacent coping panels which are adapted to be attached to the cleats to enclose the top of an entire wall. A joining panel is provided between adjacent coping panels to span the space formed between adjacent coping panels which allows for thermal expansion and contraction.
