I will be coping my double skin garden wall with 600x300 riven slabs, this might be a daft question but shall i slope them slightly to allow for water run off. 30% will have fence panels on to so i`m thinking sloping them a bit may prevent the bottom rail from sitting in the wet for long periods. Or i could lift the panels slightly.
No mention of coping run off on the main site....

Won't they look like they've been laid on the skunt? - so what if water sits on them for a while, they are for paving after all?

i agree, just think i've read somewhere that sandstone stains if you have standing water.

Maybe you could find some reclaimed coping stones locally?
We're lucky to have a big salvage yard, only 20mins away - always worth popping in to see what's come in lately.

coping stones will look a lot better,slabs on walls always looks a bit mickey mouse IMHO
