1. Measure the total distance from the

bottom of the beam to the platform.

2. Using a jack and post, jack up the

beam only enough to remove the

sting post, no more than 1/4

3. Determine the top centerline and

mark it on the beam.

4. Hang a plumb bob from the top

centerline to determine the bottom

centerline.

5. Mark the bottom centerline point.

6. Using a square, draw a centerline

perpendicular to the outside edge of

the platform.

7. Draw a centerline parallel to the

outside edge.

8. Measure from the top of the column

to the proper length and make a series

of marks around the column shaft.

9. Using a piece of cardboard as a

guide, draw a line all the way around

the column.

10. Cut the column using an abrasive

circular saw. CAUTION: Because the

column is load bearing, its top and

bottom edges must be level to achieve

full, even contact. Between the load

surfaces and the shaft. Use a rasp to

level as required.

11. Mark and drill clearance holes

on the top and bottom of the column

to accommodate bolts for the 1?” L-

brackets. (L-brackets sold separately.)

12. Slide cap over the top of the

column to rest on the neck ring, then

slide the base onto the column.

13. Secure two L-brackets on the

top and bottom of the column using

throughbolts. Do not use screws and

do not over tighten.

14. Apply construction adhesive to the

top and bottom of the column.

15. Put the assembly in place and

plumb. Make sure that the load is

centered over the column shaft and

evenly distributed. Secure L-brackets

to the platform and beam.

16. Apply construction adhesive to the

cap and base.

20. Prepare the column for painting

by sanding lightly with 120-grit or

ﬁner wet/dry sandpaper.

19. Apply caulk to gaps between the

cap and base and the column shaft.

18. Slide the cap up to the beam and

push up until secure. Screws may be

used to secure the cap to the beam and

the base to the platform. (When using

screws, ﬁrst drill pilot holes and ﬁll

with putty to cover screw heads.)

17. Align the square part of the base

with the platform below and push the

base down until secure.

21. Remove dust by wiping the

column, cap, and base with soap and

water.

22. Paint the column with a high-

quality oil-base or acrylic-latex paint.

Endura-Stone Installation Instructions 1. Measure the exact ﬂoor to ceiling height using a plumb to insure accuracy. 2. Cut the bottom of the column shaft as needed to achieve the measurement taken in step 1. Use an abrasive blade. CAUTION: Because only the shaft is load bearing, its top and bottom edges must be level to achieve full, even contact between load surfaces and shaft**. Use a rasp to level as required. NOTE: All height adjustments must be made from the bottom of the shaft.

Trace the curve of the column (a contour gauge is helpful) at the desired rail height. 2. Copy the curve to the end of the rail which will be attached to the column. 3. Carefully cut the end of the rail to ensure an attractive, tight ﬁt. 4. Attach metal Angle Bracket to the bottom of railing using rust proof wood screws. 5. Mark desired spot on column shaft. 6.
