6" Porch Column

6" x 6" Square Porch Column, complete with a PVC Box Capital and Base as shown. 

Pultruded Fiberglass Columns are made by a Pultrusion process and have a look of cast fibreglass columns at a lower cost! The process involves pulling continuous lengths of reinforced polymer, rather than pushing, as in extrusion through a forming die using a continuous pulling device. Resin, fillers and specialized additives are then added to produce a fine finish.

Though Pultruded Columns look the same as Permacast Columns, they carry only about half of the load bearing capacity (Average Allowable - 3000lbs) which will due for most applications. They are lighter in weight than the equivalent cast columns, which makes them easier to ship, carry and install. Another difference between the columns is that the Pultruded columns cannot be split. These Pultruded columns are resistant to chemicals, rot, fading, insects, warping and moisture. Pultruded Fiberglass Columns come a with a limited lifetime warranty for material and workmanship when properly installed.

The column shaft itself is 5 ½" square, and the Craftsman Style Base and Capital add 1 ½", making the overall footprint 7"; the Porch Base is 1" thick, making the overall footprint 7 ½" thick.  We include the mounting hardware for the Capital & Base.

These columns are shipped in unfinished, raw fiberglass and will require finishing paint on site after the capital and base have been installed.
