My home sets on the top of a ridge and slopes down in back into a forested creek area. I am using two of these {Ranier} as functional Gargoyles set into a castle block wall with drain pipes running underground from my house gutters. The Ranier fits perfectly when set on a standard rectangular paving piece nestled between the 12" blocks and is visible from the house through the narrow pathway that cuts down through the wall from the house. The third Ranier I have set into my Garden wall beside the home as the drain for one of the front gutters. All three look good, are functional, and dress up the landscaping in a unique manner..
