EXAMPLE
INSTALLATION DIAGRAMS
• Paint or gel stain unnished column wraps and cap and bases before installing.
• It is recommended that wood blocking for the sub frame be installed every 3-6 feet or
top, bottom and middle of support post.
• Approximately 24 hours before installation expose column wrap and blocking lumber to
same general humidity and temperature as structural beam you are installing around.
Make sure not to store in direct sunlight or close proximity to heat.
• It is recommended exterior columns be nished with an exterior grade topcoat/clear
coat for UV protection after painting or gel staining.
• Urethane can be easily cut and mitered with standard woodworking tools. Caps and
bases ship in linear pieces. They will need to be cut to size and corners mitered at job-site.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure to use the correct tools recommended.
Wear proper protective gear.
Follow power tool and adhesive instructions, and user manuals.
Use common sense and follow good construction practices.
1. Measure overall height of support beam/post from
top to bottom. Trim the column wrap 1/4” shorter
than overall support post height or as needed.
2. Construct a secure sub frame with wood blocking
around the post every 2-3 feet to secure your column
wrap to.
Pro Tip: Because the column wrap is molded from real
wood, the interior dimensions may not be perfectly
square/even. Mark the inside of the u-shape wrap with
marker where you plan to attach to the wood blocking.
Measure the width at those points and make sure your
blocking will t inside the wrap snuggly.
3. Apply construction adhesive to all sides of wood
blocking and slide u-shape section of wrap around
sub frame and secure wrap to wood blocking with
nails.
4. Next, apply a bead of construction adhesive to both
edges of the mitered 4th piece of column wrap. Fit
mitered panel flush with edge of u beam and gently
press together to ensure secure contact with adhe-
sive. Nail into sub frame and toenail into the u beam
for seamless 360° post coverage.
Pro Tip: Trim edges of wrap with utility knife if needed to
match up edges.
5. Set your cap flush with ceiling and base flush with
floor. Apply construction adhesive to back sides
and press down rmly to adhere to wrap. Secure
all sides with nails. Touch up with paint or stain as
needed.
