Buying guide
How to Choose Outdoor Pier Mount Lanterns

Pier mount lanterns are designed to sit directly on top of masonry pillars, stone columns, and flat-topped gate posts. They provide a finished, architectural look at the entrance to driveways, walkways, and garden walls — serving as both a design accent and a functional safety light.

Pier vs. post mount
Pier mount lanterns sit on flat surfaces (pillar caps, columns, walls) using a square or rectangular base plate. Post mount lanterns slip over a round post. Verify your mounting surface before ordering.
Base plate sizing
Measure the top of your pillar or column to determine the required base plate dimensions. Common sizes are 5.5 × 5.5 inches and 7 × 7 inches. Some lanterns include adapter plates for different pillar sizes.
Style coordination
For cohesive curb appeal, choose a pier mount lantern in the same collection as your wall lights and hanging lanterns. Matching finishes across entry fixtures creates a polished, intentional exterior design.
Weather rating
Pier mount lanterns are always exposed to the elements. Choose wet-rated fixtures with durable finishes. Powder-coated cast aluminum and stainless steel stand up best to Canadian winters.
