Hello everyone,
I want to attach coping slabs on top of our walls (see pictures) and improve the overall appearance of the walls.
The standard coping slabs in gray/anthracite are easy to install but not very attractive visually. Does anyone have a nice alternative idea?
I would also like to plaster and paint the walls themselves. Has anyone had experience with this? Or are there other options as alternatives?
Thanks and best regards,
Stefan

For the craftsman without special skills, a wooden option is quite simple and also aesthetically pleasing to implement, and affordable as well. Additionally, it is easy to adjust potential mistakes or tricky corners and edges, or to make changes afterwards.

If you’re doing it yourself, I would let your personal preference for a material guide you. The material you enjoy working with will come easier to you.

Stefan2.8417 Mar 2025 07:11Thank you for the responses. I would prefer wood, also because it is probably the easiest to work with. However, since I have to paint a 60m (200 feet) wooden fence every two years, I’m giving up on wood here. I will probably go with plaster and paint. Of course, there are experts you can pay for that. But where’s the fun in that for me? I want to do it myself. It’s kind of like a hobby.
