Columns and Posts for Decorative Appeal and Structural Support

If you want to add curb appeal to your house, decorative porch columns and posts can be easy and affordable ways to update the look.

Columns

Whether you choose square or round, fiberglass or aluminum, there are many different column options. Smooth columns lend themselves to a more transitional or modern look, while fluted columns have a more traditional appeal. Columns come in many sizes and can be trimmed for a customized fit. Most are around 6-8” in width/diameter and 8-10’ in height. For situations that require load-bearing support, many columns can withstand loads of 12,000 or even 20,000 lbs. 

Post Wrap

Post wrap comes in both smooth and fluted styles. Made of a vinyl PVC material, post wrap is installed around a wood post and is secured with a post trim collar. One major benefit of this PVC material is that it never needs to be painted.
