NON-TA P E R E D OCTAGON SHAFTS
KƵƌ Craftsman octagon column is made out of a single sheet of PVC,
using a “V” shape cutter where the sides join, but not cutting all the
way through. This makes a folding joint instead of separate sides that
are mitered and glued together. This one piece manufactur-ing
method for octagon columns provide an easy “wrap” installation, with
only one seam to finish.
Column widths are measured through opposite sides (not diagonally
corner-to-corner). Standard widths are 8” and 10”, and special orders
are available up to 14” wide. Heights are available up to 24’, the maxi-
mum length of our PVC stock.
OCTAGON CAP AND BASE
Like the octagon column shafts, the cap and base components are assembled as a wrap.

ances and material thickness variances, net widths may be up to
1/8” larger than shown.
