Gate Post Projects

One of our stonemasons who installs stone projects updates us with recent works.   Here are two recent projects which show off post pier caps and post rebuilding skills.

You can click on any image to see it in more detail.

We can see here that 2 Derbyshire sandstone caps have been made and prepared to be mounted on to the posts.  Then the after, the caps were finished to match the same colour as the posts.  The caps are a perfect fit and look in ideal proportion to the posts.

In this project you can see a whole post being rebuilt with layering as well as a cap.  It is a red sandstone that was used, the cap has a curved finish to it and the layering has a tooled margined faces to give a little extra detailing.

Natural Stone Gate Post Pier Caps

We were approached to supply some moulded pier caps for a pair of gate posts for a local property that had undergone a renovation and they wanted a statement piece at the property entrance to make a grand feature.

Most pier caps are around 500-800 cm square, so we are used to that size; but the requirement for these was just over 1 metre square!

Natural Stone

We made the pier caps using Stanton Moor Sandstone, these are the biggest single set of moulded pier caps we have made.  After the customer picked this stunning pyramid design, we put the measurements and design into our CNC machine and then let the machine cut them out of a single larger solid piece of stone.  There are 4 underside decreasing steps, each cut perfectly with the pyramid cap shaped to allow water to flow off and lend a touch of style to the caps.

Each piece weighed half a tonne.  These solid, heavy pieces of natural stone will last the test of time and provide a nice smooth top to offset and contrast against the more natural stone build of the gatepost.
