Caps - Washington

WHAT IS NATURAL STONE COLUMN CAP?

The column refers to a tall vertical structure or an upright pillar standing alone, whereas the cap is a head-covering material. Together, a natural stone column cap is a square piece of natural quarried stone, featuring either four rock-faced sides or edges that are snapped or chiseled, designed to be placed on the top of a column. These are also popular with the names Pillar Cap, Pier Cap, Post Cap, and Column Cover.  

WHY CHOOSE STONE COLUMN CAP?
Natural stone columns are used to create a polished surface for landscape walls and to enhance the appearance of pillars, columns, and mailboxes. In general, they are used for decorative purposes to enhance the overall monotonous look of the landscape. They are typically larger than the column they cover, allowing them to extend beyond their edges.   Enhance the age of your masonry pillars and crown them smartly by joining hands with a pillar cap supplier!   Natural stone significantly elevates the beauty of your pillars, columns, and mailboxes.   These caps are designed to be larger than the width of the column, as they sit on the top surface and provide the final detailing to complete the project. These are available in sandstone, limestone, and slatestone bases making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

Pallets exceeding 1 ton (2000 lbs)? You’ll need a forklift or skid steer to offload from the truck as its too heavy for lift gates (check weights below the quantity box on product pages).

For orders under 10 tons and pallets less than or equal to 1 ton, we ship via LTL, and the stones are offloaded for you with a lift gate/pallet jack.

Returns? Due to their nature, stones are non-returnable and non-refundable unless damaged in transit.
