Pier Caps

What are pier caps?

Pier caps are the stones typically placed on top of piers, or gate pillars. They can be used either as a cap on their own, or as the base for a ball finial, outdoor light, or other feature to stand on. Their main use is to provide protection for your pier from weather damage, as well adding a welcome addition to the general aesthetic of your pier or gate pillar.

What are pier caps for?

Pier caps have two main functions. One is to protect the pier or pillar of a wall from the effects of weathering, the other is to add decoration and value to your property by enhancing the aesthetic

How can pier caps benefit me?

Pier caps afford your property a variety of benefits. First and foremost, they can effectively protect your piers or gate pillars from the effects of weathering, preserving the appearance, aesthetic, and ambience of your outdoor space. They also act as an additional decorative feature on their own, not only preserving the aesthetic but enhancing it with their own distinct feel. And of course, they may even end up adding value to your property by increasing its kerbside appeal.
