3" Square Pier Mount - Coastal Bronze

A pier mount is a base that lets you install a post‑top or column light on a flat surface such as a stone or concrete cap.

Match the fixture’s fitter size (often 3 inches) and select a pier mount whose footprint and style suit your column dimensions.

Use stainless anchors in a drilled pattern or set threaded inserts in the cap. Follow the template to keep holes square and plumb.

Yes—many pier mounts accept post‑top lanterns via a 3‑inch collar, converting the lantern to a base‑mount installation.

Shim or use leveling screws if provided, then conceal gaps with a trim skirt and seal edges to prevent water intrusion.

Choose powder‑coated aluminum or brass with gaskets where the base meets the cap. Marine‑grade finishes hold up in coastal climates.

Most bases include a center conduit hole and channels for conductors. Keep drip loops and strain relief inside the housing.

Scale the base to the cap—oversized bases look heavy; undersized ones can appear top‑heavy. Aim for a balanced reveal on all sides.

Using OEM mounts maintains ratings. Keep gaskets intact and seal penetrations so the assembly remains wet‑location compliant.

Re‑tighten fasteners after seasonal temperature swings, check caulk joints, and clean debris or mineral deposits around the base.
