• Allowable wood stress in
compression parallel to
grain is 800 PSI.
• Allowable loads are axial
loads with no moments.
• Load bearing capacity is
dependent on the
concentric loading of the
columns.
Columns can be split to the following plan types. Splitting
columns to plan types A, B & D require a single splitting charge.
*Plan types C & Q require two splitting charges.

WORTHINGTONWOODTM ROUND CLASSICAL WOOD COLUMNS
The Worthington classical wood column is our most economical wood
column with a continuos taper and a colonial bead style. These columns
are available in plain or fluted from 6” up to 24” in diameter with a
Tuscan capital and roman doric base. They are structural and are backed
with a 1 year limited warranty. Polyurethane caps and bases are
recommended for interior or exterior use and a wood capital and base is
optional for interior only. Worthington also offers a wide range of
decorative capitals to complement most any design. These columns are
made from southern yellow pine and are designed for paint grade
applications. The Worthington classical wood column is an affordable way
to add a wood column to any project.

We do our very best to write quality blog
posts and provide excellent content so that
our customers have everything they need
right at their fingertips.
We get a lot of questions regarding
installation of our columns and so we have
put together the most common questions
in this chapter. Here you will find the
answers to most of your questions and as
always if anything is left out feel free to
give us a call!
We didn’t want to just leave it at
installation so we threw in a few tips and
tricks and things to avoid when buying
columns. To much education has never
been a bad thing!

How To Install Fiberglass Columns
Installing fiberglass columns can sometime be confusing or a hassle. We
have broken down our installation instructions so that it is easy to install and
also fast. This is simple enough that a homeowner can do it! As always if you
have any questions on your installation feel free to give us a call!
1. Determine the position of the plinth by dropping a plumb line from the
center of the soffit beam to the floor. Mark this point on the floor with an “X”.
This mark is where you will center the plinth so that the top of the shaft will
align with the soffit. (Figure 1)
2. Measure the overall height. Raise the soffit or porch slightly
with brace for easy installation of the column. (Figure 2)
3. Trim column shaft on the bottom end only. Trim with an abrasive saw.
(Be sure to use personal protective wear.) Finish both the top and
bottom of shaft with a rasp or sander to ensure an even load distribution
around the entire circumference. (Figure 3)
4. Slide cap over top of column shaft. Let cap slide down to rest
on the neck mold temporarily until shaft is correctly positioned.
(If installing a square column, slide neck mold over top of shaft
to desired location. Fasten neck mold to shaft. Caulk between
neck mold and shaft.) (Figure 4)
5. 5. Slide base/plinth onto column shaft from bottom. (Figure 5)
6. Place column in a vertical position with load centered over column
shaft with even distribution around bearing surfaces. (Figure 6)
7. If installation requires that column be secured in place prior
to bearing load, use small L brackets. Be careful to ensure L
brackets do not interfere with seating of cap and base/plinth.
(Figure 7)
8. Remove brace to allow load to bear on column shaft. (Figure 8)
9. POLYURETHANE Cap and Base/Plinth: Slide cap up to soffit
and attach to soffit using corrosion resistant screws. Attach to
floor using appropriate fasteners. (Figure 9)
SYNTHETIC INJECTION MOLDED (SIM) Cap and Base/Plinth:
Attach using corrosion resistant screws in the holes pre molded in the
cap and base/plinth. Fill holes with exterior caulk or filler.
10. Caulk between cap and soffit, the cap and shaft, and the base
and the shaft for a finished appearance. (Figure 10)
How to Correctly Cut Fiberglass Columns
Fiberglass columns are used in interior and exterior building applications, and
can be custom cut to size to fit your project design. Have a question? Get
answers from an expert now!
If you are not comfortable with cutting your own columns to height Worthington Millwork can
always cut the columns for you.
Things You'll Need
Circular saw with an abrasive fine-tooth blade
Low-tack masking tape
Marking pen or pencil
Protective eye gear
Instructions: Preparing for the Cut
•Note: Cut from the bottom of the column when using tapered columns.
1. Place the column on its side and brace it for stability. Measure to the desired length and
mark the column at the cut line.
2. Apply a layer of low-tack masking tape around the column at cutting length in order to
protect the cut edge from being chipped by the saw blade. Take a moment to don protective
eye gear.
3. Fire up your circular saw with an abrasive and fine-toothed blade and make the cut
through the masking tape, rotating the column as needed to complete the cut. If the column is
tapered, make sure to cut only from the bottom in order to keep the aesthetic and proportion of
the column.
4. Remove the cut portion and the masking tape from the cut end and install it.
5 Costly Mistakes to Avoid When Buying Porch
Columns
Porch Columns are a good choice if you need the columns to support the weight of a structure, like a porch roof. The
term that refers to this ability is “load-bearing.” In addition to being load-bearing, most fiberglass columns are also
weather resistant and insect proof. Many fiberglass
columns come with a lifetime warranty. Be sure to check the manufacturer’s
requirements, specification and warranty information before making your
purchase. The information contained in this document pertains to the most
common types of fiberglass architectural columns only, and specifically
does not pertain to wood or cellular PVC columns. Follow these tips for a
better experience adding fiberglass columns to your project, but remember
that if the instructions from the manufacturer contradict any of this
information, it’s always best to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
#1 Buying the Wrong Size Column
Fiberglass columns are available in many diameters and lengths. Getting the length right may be as simple as measuring
twice, but different columns, especially in widths, are designed to support different amounts of weight. This is referred to
as “load-bearing capacity” and it’s a critical element in selecting the correct columns for your project. If you’re not
certain of the requirements, you should consult a structural engineer or architect to verify the load -bearing requirements
of the structure. From there it’s easy to choose the proper size column, but you must also be sure to have the structural
engineer or architect verify the maximum space between columns. Be sure to plumb and level, with 100 percent of
bottom contacting the substrate and a minimum of 75 percent of top contacting the soffit. Center the load over shaft and
evenly distribute the weight around the bearing surface. Not only is it unsafe to ignore load -bearing requirements, but
most manufactures warranties are also void if the load- bearing capacity is exceeded. Be sure to conform to the
manufacturer’s specifications, as well as to local codes and the architect’s design criteria.
#2 Bottom of the Column Does Not Fully Contact the Substrate
Because fiberglass columns are load-bearing, they must transfer the load of the roof to the ground. To insure the load is
properly transferred the bottom the fiberglass columns must have full contact with the substrate. Many exterior substrates are
not flat and have some slope. To transfer the slope to the bottom of the column you should take four measurements. Measure
from the front of the column, the back of the column and the left and right of the column. Be sure to mark the front when
you draw your cut lines. Cut the column to match the slop, being sure to install the column so it has 100% contact with the
substrate.
#3 Failing to Pre-Drill Screw Holes
There are many instances when you will need to put a screw into a fiberglass column, such as to attach a railing or to
secure the column with brackets. Any time a screw needs to be put into a fiberglass column you must predrill the hole.
Failure to pre-drill screw holes may cause the material to crack and chip off. This can occur on the inside of the column
where it can’t be seen. A crack will weaken the column and significantly reduce its load-bearing capacity.
#4 Filling the Column with Masonry
Most fiberglass columns are not designed to be filled with masonry. There are applications that call for a concrete pillar,
wrapped by a decorative column. In these applications you should use an expansion & contraction barrier inside the column.
This allows for the expansion and contraction of the concrete, and it protects the column from undue stress, which may crack
the column. For most fiberglass columns, filling with concrete in not recommended.
#5 Not a Concentric Load on Column Top
Fiberglass columns are designed to transfer the load of the roof to the ground. The top of the fiberglass column must be
concentrically loaded. That is, the load must be centered on the top of the column, and at least 75% of the top of the
column top must have contact with the structure
