Pointe Column Ornament: a stainless steel crown of flame for the top of a column
The Outdoor Plus Pointe column ornament is a gas flame feature made to sit on top of a masonry column or pillar: four tall brushed stainless blades flare outward like a crown, and the flame rises from a small burner in the center of them. It is handmade in the USA, and stainless keeps its brushed finish through rain and heat without rusting.
Order it for natural gas or propane and mount it on the base plate over your gas line; it is match lit, so there is nothing to wire. Want a ready-made column to put it on? See the Outdoor Plus fire towers, which come with their own tops. The Pointe column ornament ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What does the Pointe Column Ornament look like?
A clean stainless steel point – the Pointe (OPT-FTWRTOP4) tapers skyward like a spire, the most minimal profile in TOP’s column-topper family. Where the Bastille ornament brings weathered-metal character, the Pointe brings a single sharp line, which is exactly what modern column runs want.
Is there any gas, water, or wiring in the Pointe?
None – the Pointe is a purely decorative column topper with no utilities of any kind. No trenching, no gas permits, no electrician: it mounts to the top of a column and is finished the moment it is bolted down. Decoration this simple is rare in the fire-feature aisle.
What is the Pointe ornament’s SKU and mounting style?
SKU OPT-FTWRTOP4, listed as a column-mount piece – it caps a masonry pier or structural post directly. Confirm your column’s top dimensions against the manufacturer’s drawing before ordering, or send us a photo and measurements and we will check the fit for you.
Where does the Pointe work best in a landscape?
On repeated columns that need rhythm without flame – a modern fence line, a pool-wall pier sequence, the pillars along a contemporary drive. The Pointe’s spire form catches low sun and landscape lighting beautifully, so even unlit columns contribute after dark.
Can I combine Pointe ornaments with real fire features?
Absolutely – that contrast is the trick. Cap the perimeter columns with Pointes and concentrate actual flame at the gathering spot, say a sculptural fire bowl at terrace level. The stainless spires echo the firelight without multiplying your gas runs.
How much maintenance does the stainless Pointe need?
Essentially zero – stainless steel keeps its finish outdoors without coatings or care, and the Pointe has no burner, media, or moving parts to service. Rinse off dust or pool splash occasionally and it stays sharp-looking indefinitely, season after season.
Does the Pointe Column Ornament stay out through winter?
Yes – leave the Pointe mounted year-round in any climate. With no gas system to winterize and stainless construction that ignores freeze-thaw cycles, there is no off-season routine at all; it is the one piece of your outdoor fire scheme that never asks for attention.
