A bracket having a generally U-shape is disclosed. The bracket is sized and configured to be received over a wall, such as, for example, a masonry wall, to maintain a wall covering thereon. The bracket comprises a first leg and a second leg coupled by a cross-member to define the generally U-shape. The legs may be angled such that the spaced between the legs at the open end of the U-shape is smaller than the space between the legs at the cross-member. The bracket may also be provided as part of a kit. The kit includes at least one bracket and instructions. A method of covering a wall with a bracket is also disclosed.
