Built a wall with 100mm concrete blocks which are now rendered. 140mm copings aren't wide enough as the wall is now 130mm odd wide.

I have seen 160mm wide copings but when I saw them they had a centre height of 60mm and a side height of 50mm, and looked awful.

The 140mm copings have a centre height of 50mm and side height of 25mm.

Ideally I want a 160mm wide height coping with centre height of 50mm ish and side height of 30mm ish.

Can I find something to meet this critiera? Nope.

Any pointers as to where I can?

to be honest those thin coping look and are a bit rubbish,kids knock them off with footballs,i know the bigger ones are more expensive but they are more likely to stay put
how about a double tile creasing with a blue stafford laid flat on top?? make a nice feature of it
also normally you put the copings on before you render the wall it gives the spread something to finish to...

The wall is at the back of our house and is very near the 2m limit. Footballs or the such aren't an issue.

Copings would of been done the same time as the rendering but someone forgot to buy them......
