Square Tapered Craftsman PVC Columns
Our square tapered craftsman columns are made from precision milled expanded PVC. Low maintenance, rot-proof and water-proof, these are not load-bearing so they must be installed around a previously existing support. Their hollow centers may be used as channels for downspouts, wiring and plumbing. If you need square load-bearing columns order our fiberglass reinforced polymer (FRP) columns.
