GATE COLUMNS
Gate Columns & Stone Pillars in Corsicana, TX
A pair of stone columns makes an entrance, but a column that only looks strong is a problem when a heavy gate hangs off it. On Blackland clay a shallow column tips over time, and the gate tips with it. We build columns from the footing up: a footing dug to depth after Texas811 marks the lines, a steel post set in concrete inside the column for the hinges to bolt to, and the stone or steel finish built around it. Conduit for lights, a keypad or the operator goes in before the column is closed up, not chiseled in later.
