Flat Yorkstone Wall Copings Reclaimed 15″ W / 3″ D

Flat Yorkstone wall copings bring texture, history and durability to any garden or architectural setting. Yorkstone is a natural sandstone quarried primarily in Yorkshire, where seams of fine grained stone have been extracted for centuries. Its distinctive colour variations, from pale buff to rich grey, and its dense, hard-wearing nature make it one of Britain’s most respected building materials. Resistant to frost, rain and wear, Yorkstone performs exceptionally well outdoors. As a result, it creates durable paving, steps and wall copings.

Used since early masonry construction, Yorkstone copings protect walls from weather damage. By moving rainwater away from the wall’s surface, they prevent moisture from penetrating and causing erosion. Historically, masons shaped local stone by hand, producing functional features that also added visual strength to buildings and boundaries. Flat Yorkstone wall copings continue this tradition, combining historic practicality with aged authenticity.

Each coping measures around 15 inches wide and 3 inches thick, with various lengths available for flexible use. Their reclaimed nature means they show visible signs of age and history, such as worn edges, moss and lichen growth, and soft environmental discolouration. Small traces of mortar remain on some ends, proof of their earlier life. This natural weathering gives every piece a unique character and surface texture that new stone cannot reproduce.

Flexible Feature

These flat Yorkstone wall copings look best on low parapet walls, where their colour and patina is fully appreciated. Alternatively, they suit use as garden seating when well supported by reclaimed bricks, walling stone or railway sleepers, bringing a rustic and natural aesthetic to outdoor spaces. Their solid form and rich finish make them both practical and visually striking.

Using reclaimed architectural materials like these copings provides both environmental and design advantages. Reuse reduces the need for new quarrying and helps preserve Britain’s historic stone resources. Moreover, reclaimed flat Yorkstone wall copings integrate beautifully with older properties and period restorations. In modern landscapes, they create contrast and depth, adding authenticity to new work. Available in mixed lengths, they combine sustainability, craftsmanship and genuine historic character in every stone.
