Columns

11 years ago

Are the columns made with molds? I want this look of round columns for a pergola. Looking for real stone, or very realistic looking at least. Thank you.

Hello ohcheri. Thanks for the question. These columns are architectural cast stone. They were cast in a fiberglass mold by Architectural Facades in Gilroy, CA.
