Day of Installation

Here is Gary, one of the Zoo's maintenance fellers, transporting our stone columns (with Brent holding them together) to the installation site.

We next had to cut open the hard-coated foam sculpture to fit the armature around the existing column structure. We reattached the end pieces with Great Stuff, hard-coated, spackled, hard-coated again, then primed in preparation for painting the seams to match the following day!

Faux Stone Archway: Carving in Progress!
