The Outdoor Plus Bastille Column Ornament - Hammered Copper and Corten Steel

Bastille Column Ornament: an hourglass torch top with riveted metal panels

The Outdoor Plus Bastille column ornament is a gas torch top made to sit on a masonry column or pillar. Four curved, riveted metal panels flare out top and bottom in an hourglass shape, banded with twisted rope detail, and a shallow round bowl at the top holds the flame. It is handmade in the USA, and the page lets you pick copper or stainless steel for the metal.

Order it for natural gas or propane and set it on the base plate over your gas line; it is match lit, with nothing to wire. Want the whole column, not just the top? The Bastille fire tower pairs this top with a matching obelisk. The Bastille column ornament ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

Corten Steel Guide

 

What is Corten Steel

COR-TEN® Steel is a high strength steel with a high weathering resistance. COR-TEN® has been a trademarked name used to generalize Weathered Steel. This steel alloy has been used in architecture and sculptural works, it eliminates the need to paint and provides a beautifully unique and aesthetically pleasing look while also providing great rust protection. COR-TEN® has a weather resistance greater than 4~8 times that of ordinary steel. Each of our COR-TEN® Steel Products at The Outdoor Plus are aged to look around 1 month of patina. The texture of the COR-TEN® Steel may be irregular, this is what gives our products and even more unique finish.

Corten Steel Fire Pit

 

COR-TEN® Steel will continue to patina over time into a darker mocha looking metal instead of the bright yellow-orange that it originally started with. The image below shows the aging/patina process of COR-TEN™ Steel starting from left to right(0.5 Months, 1.5 Months, 6 Months, 2 Years, 5 Years, 22 Years, 40 Years).

FAQ

What is the Bastille Column Ornament for?

Finishing columns that do not get a flame. The Bastille ornament tops a pillar with the same hammered copper and corten steel presence as the Bastille Fire Tower – so when your design calls for six columns but only two gas runs, the other four still look intentional instead of decapitated.

Does the Bastille ornament need gas, water, or wiring?

None of the three – it is purely decorative. No fuel line, no plumbing, no electrical, no permits: the Bastille Column Ornament simply mounts to the top of a column and sits there looking finished. That makes it the easiest piece in the whole TOP catalog to install.

What SKUs cover the Bastille Column Ornament?

OPT-FTWRTOP2 and OPT-FTWRTOP3, both listed as column-mount pieces in the hammered copper and corten steel treatment. Dimensions are on the manufacturer’s documentation – contact us and we will confirm which of the two configurations suits your column before you order.

How will the Bastille ornament’s finish age outdoors?

Gracefully and visibly – the corten steel weathers into its rust-toned protective skin while the hammered copper deepens toward brown patina, exactly matching the way a Bastille Fire Tower ages beside it. Expect the pair to drift in color together, which is the entire charm.

Can I mix Bastille ornaments with lit fire features?

That is the intended play: flame where you want it, matching ornament everywhere else. Run Bastille-topped columns down a drive with a lit tower or hammered copper fire pit at the destination, and the whole sequence reads as one designed family of metalwork.

How does the Bastille Column Ornament mount?

It is a column-mount piece – the ornament fastens atop a masonry or structural pillar, capping it the way a finial caps a gatepost. Because there is no gas or wiring, any competent contractor can set it; just confirm your column’s top dimensions against the spec sheet first.

Does the Bastille ornament need maintenance or winter storage?

No storage and almost no care – corten and copper are both metals that improve outdoors, and there is no burner, valve, or ignition to protect. Leave the Bastille up year-round; if early corten runoff might tint pale stone below, let it weather its first season over a forgiving surface.
