The cap and base sets for tapered Craftsman Series columns consist
of a platform and a molding. The platforms are factory cut in a "V"
shape to allow easy installation around an existing load support. This
"V" is reassembled using jointer biscuits (included), PVC cement or
polyurethane glue, and nails or screws. (As with all exterior products,
non-corrosive fasteners must be used, such as double hot-dipped
galvanized screws or nails). This same "V" cut construction is used
for the top platform of Craftsman pedestals. Pedestals being used as
newels may be ordered without the platform being "V" cut.

MIX-N-MATCH

FRP structural round and square column with Craftsman pedestal. No load support
is required since the FRP column is load bearing (unless split). The column should
be installed following our normal installation instructions with the exception that the
base is not placed and attached. The base should be held above the height of the
pedestal. Then the Craftsman pedestal is installed around the FRP column. To finish the
installation, the base is then lowered to the top of the pedestal and attached.
