Coping lengths are butt jointed over the fixing straps and compresses an EPDM seal for weathered protection and decorative finish.

1) Ensure minimum 18mm marine ply and weatherproof membrane is fitted to the structure before commencing with the installation (all supplied by others).

3) Secure brackets with minimum size No.12 x 50mm sized screws using the outer slots in the fixing straps at 1.5m maximum centres or as recommended based on wind uplift calculations or coping size. Additional screw fixings will be required on wider fixing straps. Minimum 70mm from fixing screw centre to the outer edge of the coping. 2. Position bracket with EPDM seal centrally over the wall.

4) Always secure additional half brackets for corners and piers with the first fixing point with a minimum of 40mm from the external wall finish.
