Coca Pillar - Handmade Brick Look for Fences and Garden
Pilar Coca: What It Is
The Pilar Coca is the decorative piece inspired by traditional handmade brick fences, which lets you build a warm, handcrafted-looking pillar without traditional brickwork or skilled labor.
✅ Main Advantages
Handmade brick look: the layout and the irregularity of the face imitate the traditional brickyard finish, with the performance of a precast piece.
Through-body siena color: a warm, welcoming tone that does not fade with a knock or a cut.
Three sizes: 30 × 30 × 24 cm, 40 × 40 × 12 cm and 40 × 40 × 24 cm, to adjust course height and cross-section.
23.7 kg piece: enough mass to give the pillar stability from the first course.
Stack assembly: no formwork, no rendering and no need to point the exposed face.
🏗️ Recommended Applications
Fence pillars and rustic-style garden fences.
Gate posts and plot entrance pillars.
Piers and reinforcements in garden walls.
Bases for pergolas, porches and built-in barbecues.

💡 Professional tip: always allow for 7% to 10% extra pieces. In a finish that imitates handmade brick, tone variation between batches is part of the effect, but if you fall short and reorder six months later, the new pillar will stick out like a sore thumb next to the old one. It is cheaper to keep five pieces in the garage than to order half a pallet from a different batch.
