Outdoor Concrete Mushrooms
James Castings concrete mushrooms are cast with a single reinforced steel bar centrally positioned to serve for reinforced concrete strength and also provide full stability in the ground.
Patio versions of Mushrooms are cast in the same way however without the protruding reinforced steel bar.
Required mushroom texture finishes are completed by hand to a rough or smooth finish, following removal from sand casting.
Concrete Mushrooms can also be extremely effectively painted with smooth or textured masonry paint. The masonry colour range is not limited to white or black but also with the use of acrylic colour additives a very wide range of colours can be achieved, with lasting durability unaffected.
