It would give the entire structure a continuity, now that you have started seriously with the stone and yet it would still allow for all of the required light. <br />Perhaps paper clay would work to coat the black metal enabling you to keep the supports thin enough and have it still look as though it can support the weight of the solid ends as well as the crenelations of your conservatory. <br />as I've said- it's Just a thought elizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-60202386505242339492016-12-02T09:51:41.272-07:002016-12-02T09:51:41.272-07:00Sheila, that was just a try out kind of thing.

It would look thick and substantial. The crenelations look very thin and like they aren't meant to be there. Something with more weight to it would blend with what you're doign with the stonework on the sides.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074992134112478195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-67302848455613980152016-12-01T19:41:54.460-07:002016-12-01T19:41:54.460-07:00If you have a Dremmel tool, you could cut each of ...If you have a Dremmel tool, you could cut each of the pieces at the bottom.
