William’s Kenai Faux Stone Pillars

William’s Kenai Faux Stone Pillars

William Lee upgraded his outdoor living space with Kenai faux stone pillars using GenStone panels. By wrapping the base of each pergola post in stacked stone, the structure feels more anchored. The cool gray tones of Kenai complement the natural wood beams and surrounding landscape, creating a balanced, cohesive backyard design.

Stone-wrapped pillars help define outdoor structures like pergolas and pavilions while adding visual weight at the base. In this project, the contrast between the textured stone and clean wood lines gives the space more dimension and a finished, built-in appearance. The pillars also visually connect the pergola to the stone fireplace in the background, tying the entire area together.

GenStone’s lightweight panels made it easy to wrap each post with clean edges and consistent alignment. Panels can be cut to fit around existing supports without complex tools or structural changes.

Expert tip: Order samples in your top color choices before installing to ensure the stone tone complements your wood, hardscape, and surrounding environment.
