Architectural Fiberglass beams may obtain the desired finish. replicate stone or wood.

Battlement Originally a fortification, a parapet or wall with higher and lower parts. The higher part is the Merlon, the lower the Crenelle or Crenel. The Raised part or Merlon was often pierced by a hole to allow for firing an arrow. The design was adopted for decoration and can be found on many older garden and eventually became a decorative element.
