Hi guys

I am extending a small garden wall. I have managed to find matching bricks,
but the coping stones are finding hard to get. It's a basic twice weathered
600mm x 127mm in buff. Only need 7, anyone got any lying around they don't
want? Will gladly pay for them. Have tried several builders merchants around
here, and all have said they are very hard to get.

I'm in the Leeds , West Yorkshire area.

Have you tried a reclaim yard?

Not yet, just been looking for them in the Leeds area.

The hint might be, as to whether it's worth bothering - are they a type of
coping you see around (ie a local thing). If so, there's a better than zero
chance you might get lucky.

Are the stones really stone? Again, if so, they are the sort of thing that
might well make it back to a yard. Random concrete jobbies are going to get
skipped or turned into hardcore...

Don't think it's stone, more like cast concrete. Think I am going to remove
the existing and replace with something else.

Can you make some then? Like a plywood former to match the existing.
