a plurality of coping brackets secured to the top surface of the structural base, each of the plurality of coping brackets having a coping lip extending upwardly and away from a front surface of the structural base; and
a plurality of coping tiles hanging on the plurality of coping brackets such that an upper edge of each of the coping tiles is positioned to be above a bottom edge of the field tiles to form a fixed perimeter around the plurality of floating field tiles to inhibit lateral movement of the plurality of floating field tiles.
