Garden folly and ruins with gothic theme and ridge gargoyle

The customer sent in a great collection of photos showing the finished garden folly and ruins with gothic theme and ridge gargoyle. Their creation has created a lovely outdoor space and if you want to build your own garden folly and ruins great results can be achieved as these set of photos demonstrate. Several key components can be used to make your own ruins such as reclaimed bricks, gothic windows, plaques, keystones, planted flowers, shrubs and of course a gothic themed gargoyle finial to top it off. You could also use stone, mortar and other architectural items to produce your very own design

These ruins are built with a corner design and the bricks have been laid to look incomplete and authentic just as you’d imagine a ruined brick built building. Attention is drawn to the many focal areas of the ruins, the gargoyle finial looks down from the amazing gothic themed window which has stained glass. The area is completed with stone slabs and a traditional style cast iron chair and table set to enjoy outdoor dining and a cast iron bench for relaxation

The area is complete with a large decorative cast iron chimnea which can be used to burn logs to take the edge off a chilly evening. It demonstrates really well how materials can be used creatively to construct something that looks fantastic and servers as a functional space. We can supply all manner of gargoyles, dragons, wyverns and grotesques if this has inspired you to make your very own garden folly and ruins
