Copper chimney caps 2/2

admin

With the fabrication done, I built a slide to get the cap up to the roof.Both caps were secured with tapcon concrete screws.The smaller cap was secured with some 1" copper band on the side to the chimney. Fits perfect

Reply:Nice caps!  Pretty, too!  I think it woul d be nice if they would stay shiney like that, but that isn't going to happen.  The patina will commence soon.  But that's nice too.Question:  What fuel is being burned?  Wood? Pellets?  Oil? gas?Another question: Above the copper screen where you made scroll work to support the crowned top: Are the spaces between the scroll work small enough to prevent chimney swifts from entering?A third question: I know you didn't do flashing but thought you may have made closed observations when up there.  Why does it appear in the photos that the flashing is chopped off just above the roof line and not folded smooth over the shingles as expected?  - MondoMember, AWSLincoln ProMIG 140Lincoln AC TombstoneCraftsman Lathe 12 x 24 c1935Atlas MFC Horizontal MillCraftsman Commercial Lathe 12 x 36 c1970- - - I'll just keep on keepin' on.
