I had a similar problem years ago when using the Atlas bridge piers. To get the height that I needed, I cut a block of wood to match the shape of the footing with the thickness that I needed for the proper height. You could also just build up the ground at the end of the riser to set an abutment on. Good luck with you project. Tim

I am with Tim. You can build what you need from scratch or build ground terrain to support the piers that you have. A little paint and imagination you can make some beautiful piers out of cheap ones to look like a million bucks. I have done some from cheap products and I have them looking good.
Your Choice Go For It. Newman
