what is brick coping
Coping (from cope, Latin capa) consists of the capping or covering of a wall. A splayed or wedge coping slopes in a single direction; a saddle coping slopes to either side of a central high point. A coping may consist of stone (capstone), brick, tile, slate, metal, wood or thatch. In all cases it should be weathered to throw off the water. Various types of copings exist. A diagramatic explanation of copper copings is available.
