This copper chimney pipe cover and cap projects is for my client Steve Fenley in Mulino, Oregon. It is for their 8" stainless steel chimney pipe that is stained with rust streaks. The inside of the base chamber is 22" x 24". The flashing flange is 34" x 36" for a 6" wide flashing all around. I made it with a much wider base, so there would be no need for the roof braces to hold it steady in high winds.

These are shots taken by the client of his existing rusty flashing.  After removing the roofing and the rusty flashing collar he got these shots and detailed measurements for me to build the new copper cover to fit over all this.

Here is the bottom flange with the center cut out and tabs bent up to connect with the tapered support collar that is 24" tall at the lower base. The shot below shows the set up I made to simulate the roof angle and an 8.5" wide plastic bucket in the center at the right height to get the measurements for each side of the support collar.

This shows the bottom section completed from 2 different angles.

Then I made this copper support ring for the screen to mount over this tapered top of the flue pipe.

I attached the 16 gauge stainless steel screen.
It is 12" wide and 9" tall.

I bent the top edges down at the angle of the
top cap and made a copper attachment ring.

Here is a few shots of the finished cap.

Cost for this project: $600 w/o shipping

Note: again I under bid this project by $183, but I stuck the the price I had quoted. He was a very good client to work with. Here is the photos of the installed cover that he sent me on 8/20/08:
