SLATESTONE COLUMN WRAP
1) Fir out the desired column to 12 ¾" x 12 ¾".
2) Starter Strip- Determine the height above ground the
bottom of the column should be. Measure up 2 ¾" from this
point and strike a level line. Attach the top of the starter strip
on this line. Level and Attach starter strip on each face,
stopping 2" from each corner.
3) Each box contains 2 left (L-2,L-4)and 2 right corners
(R-1, R-3). 2 boxes are needed per 2 courses. Use 4 right
pieces for 1 course and 4 left pieces for the next course. Dry
fit
corners R-1, R-3 and R-1, R-3. Slide down onto the starter strip
and attach all pieces where indicated on the screw hem.
4) Attaching the Corners- There are 3 screw points on the long
side of the corner, and 2 on the shorter end. Make sure to use 5
screws per corner. Hold the bottom edge of corner snug against the
substrate while placing the screws to prevent over tightening of
the screw hem. This prevents the bottom edge from kicking out.
5) Dry fit corners L-2, L-4 and L-2, L-4. Slide down and
attach as described above.
6) For the next course, use corners R-3, R-1 and R-3, R-1 to
prevent pattern repetition. Finally use corners L-4, L-2 and L-4, L
-2 for the 4th row. Continue to alternate as needed until the de-
sired height is achieved.
Note to Installer: Do not over tighten the screws
when attaching the corner pieces. When over tight-
ened, the corner piece will “kick out” at the bottom
and create a gap. If the gap is present, pull the cor-
ners together to minimize the gap, then face screw through the
female tongue, through the male base plate, and into the sub-
strate. Use a 3" deck screw for this purpose. Use NextStone caulk
to fill screw head and NextStone touch up paint for a professional finish.
