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.
