ABSTRACT:
A sheet metal mini-wall parapet structure is provided. The structure is basically a U-shaped member formed of sheet metal. At one lower corner of the U-shaped member is formed the cleat used to attach the conventional coping member. The cleat is formed by extending one leg of the U-shaped member downwardly and folding it over in a continuous fashion with an extension from the bottom of the U-shaped member. The upright legs of the U-shaped member are staggered in height so that when a top member is attached, the top member is sloped in one direction so that any water accumulating on the top of the mini-wall parapet is drained toward the roof. The top member is usually of 3/4" pressure treated plywood which is screwed into bent over flanges along the tops of each leg of the U-shaped member. Before the top member is screwed into place, the void within the sheet metal legs can be filled with insulation to minimize heat loss through the mini-wall parapet. By screwing the top member in place, the whole structure is rendered rigid. When necessary, the opposite upright leg of the U-shaped member can include a triangular protrusion which serves the same function of the wood cant structure required in certain installations. Finally, when the roof insulation, the roof membrane and the coping seal member are installed, the outward appearance is aesthetically identical to prior art mini-wall parapet structures.
