In architecture, coping and gola can also be used on terraces. A terrace is an outdoor space that is typically elevated and flat, often used for leisure or entertainment.
Coping on a terrace is used to protect the walls of the building from water damage caused by rainwater or other forms of precipitation. It is typically a horizontal layer of material that sits on top of the walls of the terrace, and is usually made of stone, metal, or concrete.
A gola on a terrace is used as a decorative element and can be used to frame the terrace and create a transition between the terrace and the building. It can also be used to conceal the junction between the terrace and the walls. Golas on terraces are typically made of wood, plaster or stone and can be decorated with carvings or other ornamentation to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the terrace.
