Create striking entrances and timeless appeal
Natural stone columns built around pergolas or porch posts are typically 2” to 3” in height, 16” to 24” square, with 18” most common.
Caps are usually either a natural flagstone cut to fit or 1¼” travertine. If there is no existing base, we will pour a ⅜” rebar reinforced concrete base for support.
