Stone gate pillars

We produced and installed the massive ashlar pillars at the entrance to this property.

Pillars with moulded capitals and low side walls were chosen. The whole is in harmony with the wrought-iron gate. The stones have been weathered and aged by us, to match the neighbouring buildings.

The automatic gate mechanism was integrated when the pillars and wrought iron gate, also made to measure*, were installed. The solid pillars are hollowed out in the centre, allowing reinforced concrete to be poured to ensure the solidity of the whole structure and the passage of the electrical conduits for the gate mechanism.

(For images of the various stages involved in installing stone pillars, a gate and an automatic opener, see our blog article).
