NON-TA P E R E D COLUMN SPECIFICATIONS
Non-tapered columns are available plain, fluted or with three paneled options:
standard raised panel, “square corner” raised panel, and recessed panel. (Since all
tooling used for routing the panels is done with round bits, there will always be
some radius in the corners. The “square corner” style uses the smallest bit possible
to minimize that radius - about
1/8”.) Double panel configurations are available
upon request, similar to the panels on ŶĚƵƌĂͲ^ƚŽŶĞ FRP square column shafts, or
with custom spacing.
Shaft heights for standard columns
will be
1/2” less than the nominal
height (see diagram, dimension “A”.)
For example, a 5’ high column will ship
with a shaft that is 4’-11
1/2” tall. The
cap will cover the gap when installed.
(At least
1/4” gap is required at the top
on all installations to compensate for
product thermal expansion.)
Net widths of shafts will be
3/8” less than nominal. Custom widths and heights may
be requested in any size up to 24’ tall, and 48” wide. Cap and base trim and plat-
forms will be adjusted as needed for the revised shaft width.
See the cap and base specifications page for available cap/base styles. Also available for the non-tapered shaft is an optional
neck trim: molding applied as an astragal. This 1
1/8” high molding is installed in the field, and on plain shafts, can be placed at
any location the design requires. For fluted or paneled columns, this should be installed 1” below the cap, and the flutes or
panels would begin 1
1/2” below the neck trim. Any customer preferred alterations of that location would need to be indicated
prior to manufacture. (This molding can also be ordered with the tapered columns, but will ship long, and the installer will
need to cut the compound miter to make this fit correctly.)
