parapet/railing detail
(OP)
My client wants a railing on his ICF residential parapet.
He has also asked for large planters, at other spots.
(My initial preference was for a masonry cap)
Maybe posts anchored in the concrete, that could support 1. a railing 2. modify to support the (heavy) planters?
But detailing this w/ either a metal coping, or a masonry cap? that allows runoff? a deep, single post be sufficient to support large planters?
Any ideas? this is not my expertise. I'm scratching my head
thanx

Embed the posts, then anchor in a pre-cast on top w/ sealed sleeves?
I've never detailed/noted something like this.
depth? diameter? sealant?
any ideas welcome!!!

Alternatively, you can cast the metal anchorage as plates with an end cap into the ICF wall and secure a metal railing to this.
I've used both and they work well.
