Yes, all of our round wood and Fiber Cast columns are load bearing. Refer to website for the load bearing capability of the desired column. If my wood columns are split, what type of adhesive do I need to reassemble them? To reassemble a split column, a high quality wood glue adhesive should be used. This product can be found at any hardware or construction-supply provider.
How do I secure a split column to a wooden or metal post? Depending on your application, there are several ways to hold a column in place when used for decoration purposes only. One of the most common ways to hold a column in place is to use standard "L" brackets on the bottom and top of the column's shaft. The Tuscan Base and Capital hide this method of installation. If being assembled around a wooden post, a common way to secure the column is by using wood shims.
The shims should fit snugly between the column shaft and the post for proper stability. Be sure to visit our website for further column installation instructions. Can I trim my columns to a lower height? Turncraft recommends using an abrasive Carborundum or similar or carbide blade to trim the shaft.

Cut the bottom of the column shaft as needed to achieve the measurement taken in step 1. Use an abrasive blade. Use a rasp to level as required. NOTE: All height adujstments must be made from the bottom of the shaft. For the cap to fit correctly, the top of the shaft must be trimmed only enough to achieve level contact with load surfaces, or to achieve correct installation of decorative capitals.
Slip one-piece cap and base onto column shaft see figure 1. The two-piece cap and base are attached after the shaft is installed. If this column is installed where it could collect water or debris, the top of the column and cap MUST be flashed covered to prevent such collection. Use lead, copper, aluminum, galvanized, etc. It is not permissible at any time to fill the interior of the column shaft with sand, concrete or any other material.
Apply standard construction adhesive to flashing if used , top surface of cap and bottom surface of base; then tip loosely assembled column shaft into position, align flashing if used , and lower load onto shaft to hold it in position.
