Ridge gargoyle finials near the sea

This picture collection was sent in by a delighted customer that purchased two ridge gargoyles to decorate the two gables for their new build property located on the South Coast, UK. The pictures show the new build property in the process of being built with scaffolding up and shows the ridge gargoyles fitted in place at each end of the ridge tile run. The customer opted for gargoyles as a way to add a decorative and creative feature on the roof

The new build property is brick construction with the roof finished in slate with velux windows and there are roll top terracotta ridge tiles that span the ridge run which give good colour contrast and detail on the roof. This particular variety of gargoyle finial is based upon a roll top ridge tile profile design and as you can see from the pictures it works perfectly alongside the plain roll top ridges on the roof and is a good match for the design and colour. The gargoyles create a lovely feature on each gable end with one overlooking one part of the garden and the other overlooking the other part of the garden

One of the gargoyles has a great background setting when viewed side on as the sea and sand dunes can be seen which looks absolutely stunning on a sunny day. The sizing of the gargoyles are perfect for this roofing project and work really well with the existing ridges, we do of course offer many different gargoyles to suit different tastes, styles and types of roofs
