Castle Composites Concrete Pier Caps provide a formed finishing stone for a masonry pier, helping create a neat appearance while covering the exposed top of the pillar. They suit suitable gate piers, garden walls and boundary entrances, where the size and overhang of the cap should be considered alongside the brickwork below.
Concrete pier caps for the tops of boundary wall pillars
The current selectable dimensions are 370 x 370mm and 530 x 530mm, with Light Grey, Buff and Dark Grey colour options. These are square pier caps rather than the long linear coping stones used across wall runs. The original description identifies precast concrete construction.

How to choose the right specification
Measure the top of the finished pier, including any render or facing, and check that the chosen cap offers the intended projection on all sides. Consider the appearance of the cap alongside the adjacent wall copings, gate fittings and brickwork. At corners and entrances, a consistent colour can be important to the overall design.
Installation, planning and maintenance
The masonry must provide a sound, level support and the cap must be fixed using a bedding or adhesive system suitable for the concrete and exposure. Check any centre features or overhang before setting out. Weathering, sealing and joint treatment at the pier top should follow the masonry detail rather than relying on the cap alone.
