If it is necessary to store column components, it must be in
a dry, well ventilated area preferably in an upright position.
*DO NOT STORE under plastic, directly on
the ground, concrete or masonry. You must have air circulation
to prevent condensation from forming on wood components.
*DO NOT UNBAND split columns or separate
components until ready for installation.
*Coat all interior and exterior surfaces of plaster composition
capitals with two coats of a high quality oil based primer.
This should be done before storage.
*All column components to be stored over 30 days should have
at least one coat of finish paint before storing. if not, the
primer will need to be sanded well and reprimed with a high
quality primer appropriate for the application before the finished
coats of paint are applied.
*Apply asphaltum roof coating to the inner walls of the shaft,
wood base and wood capital if for exterior use, and they have
not been coated at the factory.
*Hardwood columns that are received unprimed should be coated
inside and outside simultaneous with the same sealer and the
same number of coatings directly after unpacking and before
installation.
