Columns... where can I get them?

Hi Folks,

I have an idea for a corner of my garden which involves putting a few columns in a gentle curve. I have been looking on the internet trying to find a supplier but I have not had luck so I figured I'd come here and ask you good people if maybe you had an idea?

I am looking for fluted columns, about 6-8ft in height and I had a quantity of about 4 in mind... I found loads of suppliers in america that have PVC, fibreglass, concrete.. you name it...... but in eire, I cant seem to find anyone (Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places Laughing

)

If you can help, I'd apprecate it...

I sure would prefer fibreglass or PVC purely from a convenience point of view but concrete would be ok too

Heres the columns I have in mind...

Fountains and decor in Kildare may be able to help you with the concrete columns.

or perhaps foamcutter may be able to produce expanded polystyrene foam columns for you, like his planters here....

They would have to be harnessed down well though, I would guess.

Quincy, with your concrete casting experience we could create a mould for you

or we cut cut one from EPS (expanded polystyrene foam) and give a textured coating.

Thanks for plug GPI
