Default Cemetery Columns and Gate
Like many other people, I too have been working on cemetery columns and a gate. I'm still working on the sign to go above the columns so I'll post pictures of that when I finish it.

So, here's what I've done so far.

Very nice! (I wish I had a big gargoyle in my living room too - it really makes a house a "home").

DAYUM Haunti those are great! speaking as a tuckpointer who's seen a lot of masonry, those mortar joints totally sell me on the brick authenticity...

I'm sure you've already posted something about them, but how did the iron gates themselves come about?

WOW! Those look great. I hope you plan to leave them up all year long. Great job. What are the dimensions?

I've used a garden arch as the entrance to my cemetery for years and it wasn't aging well. Rather than tossing them away, like a good haunter I incorporated the uprights into the gate and added some pvc to widen the gate doors.
