This solid 20oz copper turret roof cap was custom made for our clients named Don Fairbairn in Shawano, Wisconsin for their 12/12 pitch circular turret.  The roof cap was made 30" wide across the base with a safety hem bent under the bottom edge for strength and better handling during installation.

He had originally asked for a quote on a 40" wide cap, but the cost was a bit high, so he opted for a little smaller cap. They then saved another $131 from the additional amount of copper that went into this cap over what was quoted. I had calculated this to require 11.5 square feet of copper, but it weighed in at 18#, which calculates down to 14.4 square feet of copper sheet metal.

These are photos of this roof cap in the different stages of fabrication with the finial support pipe built in to be independent of the roof. Then the steeple cone is riveted and soldered over the base cap for upper support of the finial support pipe.

Below is the Merlin finial  they ordered with a solid brass mast rod. We also made this set of special primed and painted spacer blocks for a hidden roof vent w/copper vent screening and detailed installation instructions.

This shows their turret roof cap and finial installed.

 

Cost: $952.50 php
$131 discount for more copper used than quoted
