hi first post here, have just landed a decent sized job, 91 sq m of flat cement render onto a single brick garden wall. Problem i'm having is finding a replacement for some of the wall copes that are missing (half round - 150mm wide by 60mm depth cope, need about 4 m of them). Need to get the copes sorted before i can bash on with the rendering. Just wondering if i should just go to a pre-cast concrete shop or try rig up a wooden mould and cast as i CANNOT find anything similiar to these anywhere. .

Any help would be great
cheers.

Yeh post some pics mate? I would imagine a precast yard would be quite pricey? Can you not cast in situ?? Heard that wallcrete gear is the mutts nuts? You might find someone on here who could advise further?:RpS_thumbsup:
