Installing Our Beautiful Faux Stone Columns

Wraps.

Here’s what all the parts look before installing them.

Suggested Tools

Our Faux Stone Columns are very easy to install. All you really need is some basic tools.

Creating A SupportWe suggest beginning the installation by making a support that is a bit less than 12 inches.

You can use pressure-treated wood, metal or any material you wish. They can be straight or shaped to wrap around the existing post.

Base Anchoring

We suggest installing a brace toward the bottom but not in contact with the floor. This will prevent the material from getting and staying wet.

Start With 2 Panels

What we recommend is not to install all the four panels at the same time but rather in groups of two. Go ahead

and glue/screw two faux stone panels together than attach them to the braces.

Continue With The Other Two

Now take the other two faux rock panels and glue & screw them together. This is much easier to do away from your post and just focusing on lining up the fingers. When finished, attach them to the post/pillar and to the other two panels previously installed.

Mounting Posts Vertically

In our catalog you will notice two size wraps, 6 ft. and 3 ft. If either of them is not tall enough you can easily install two or more on top of each other following the same steps above. Make sure you use a brace along the edge where the two posts meet to create a tight joint. Glue and screw the two

posts to each other and to these braces.

Our Two Caps

We offer two types of caps based on the type of installation and project. If the wrap is free standing you may want to use our closed caps. If you plan to wrap an existing post (such as the

one in the above images) then the split cap may be your choice. Either cap can be cut with a saw to create hole in the middle.

The Last Step

Although our products are waterproof we always recommend sealing the edges where the product has been cut. You may

also want to caulk all the areas where water can penetrate and damage the braces you created. You also don’t want to have water inside where it would be hard to dry. Any caulked area

can be colored with our paint kits.
