Easily build 2 driveway pillars for less than $250

easy driveway pillar build

[@bigcaddy3]

some stucco on those columns would be nice. Or parge them with some mortar. Just a thought.

[@Yoga4my60s]

Great job there. Good planning! Congrats and Thanks

[@punkrctlw]

Thanks for the comment

[@ShaneStallions_TV]

good job ... 👍💡

[@therenaissancewoman2080]

Great job and thanks for posting. This gives me an idea of what to do for my yard. I want to create stone pillars for fencing with real river stones.

[@neurodivajewelz]

Great job! Would have loved to see the process of how you built it.

[@stern-pl5iq]

Great job, I just installed an iron double gate and would like to install Pillars as well. My contractor was saying I can do it with liquid nail adhesive.

[@punkrctlw]

Yeah its rock solid still. The adhesive is very strong and permanent

[@cheffsolo7739]

Looks great !

[@frugalera]

Looks great. But I am concerned that you only dug down a few inches. I don’t know if you have a frost line where you are but even so I would suggest that 12” down would be the bare minimum with 18” more preferable….

[@ROCSOLID-z9d]

Hello,Absolutely correct, here in Michigan I was told at least 36 in.

[@rxlo1015]

Good job 👍

[@keithharmon2056]

thanks looks good

[@Shadyoaks-farm]

Thanks for the inspiration. Do you have a LinkedIn for the lighted signs? The address signs?

[@loveeveryone8057]

Can you recommend the best way to install the gates? I am in Canada where we have winter so would like to know what power gate system you installed and where you found the best information to build that gate system. I have the same gates as you 14 foot - 2 - 7 foot gates. If you were going to do it again, would you scale to a more heavy post for your gates?

[@punkrctlw]

Our gates were installed professionally by the company we got them from. They installed them on super heady steel post filled with concrete put 4 feet into the ground. As for the gate opener. We got the topens ad8 off amazon. Its been very reliable. And we installed a generic wifi momentary switch off amazon ($10) and installed that (very easy ) so we can control the gate while away from home or with google home/alexa

[@jessicamunoz6859]

Hi what do search to get the the metal fence? Did you order online and they place it for you?

[@punkrctlw]

@jessicamunoz6859 they delivered it and placed it yes. From a local landscape supply place

[@cynthialambert9067]

I don't understand why the solar down lights are below the signs, not above them.

[@punkrctlw]

I.installed lights after this that shine right on the signs

[@snowmellowalpinefoundati-oq3lr]

Looks awesome. What brand are those gates?

[@punkrctlw]

@@snowmellowalpinefoundati-oq3lr not sure the brand. It's from a local landscape place

[@JoshuaBurgess-p7d]

what size is the gate

[@Howt-ooo]

Glued the blocks together? 😂

[@punkrctlw]

With construction adhesive. Its made for cinder blocks. Its very strong 💪

[@acreageliving]

did you fill the pillars with concrete to the top?

[@punkrctlw]

No i did not because they aren't supporting anything

[@Jay-dn4uy]

If you don't mind me asking how much did the gate cost you and to get it installed?

[@punkrctlw]

Gate was $1750. Installation and delivery of the gate was $800

[@Jay-dn4uy]

@@punkrctlw thank you for the information my friend can you tell me the name of the company?

[@punkrctlw]

@Jay-dn4uy hmm i dont remember..it was a local landscape supply company here in Georgia

[@ericmiller7751]

Good job

[@islandvibesgardening4419]

What company did you go with for your gateway?

[@punkrctlw]

A small local landscape company

[@kourtneylampkin3788]

What adhesive glue did you use?

[@punkrctlw]

Generic Construction adhesive found at home depot

[@maryoswaldskincare9578]

lights are way too small

[@eclipseotik]

Great job, tell me more about those gate openers, are they electric or solar powered?

[@punkrctlw]

They are the topens ad8 off amazon. Have power going to them. They have inputs for solar but i didnt get panels. I do have Batteries in there in case of a power outage
