  • Affordable: Our high-density polyurethane columns are a fraction of the cost of real stone or brick for both purchase and shipping.
  • Easy to Install: You can install faux stone columns in a matter of hours, instead of the days it would take to lay real brick or stone.
  • Genuine Look: Our faux stone is molded from real stone in a range of realistic finishes, so your columns will look like beautiful stone.
  • Practical: Exterior faux stone column wraps make it easy to add hidden speakers and run hidden wiring.

Ways to Use Exterior Faux Stone Column Wraps

Faux stone columns offer design options that just don't exist with the real thing. This is because of the hollow space inside the column itself. This space gives you countless options for running electrics, plumbing, and other gear inside.

You can easily add:

  • Recessed lighting
  • Recessed speakers
  • Water features
  • Electrical outlets

Electric outlets are a common favorite, as access to power in the garden or yard can be annoying and impractical. Our exterior faux stone column wraps enable you to seamlessly provide an outlet without having to run an unsightly extension cord.
