How are columns manufactured?
Columns are multi-ply (2 X _), laminated #1 Southern Yellow Pine. A big advantage of this design is the ability to effectively treat the entire column section resulting in long life. Another distinguishing feature is the optimum use of “longest-possible” lumber to reduce the number of splices, which adds strength. The result is industry-leading strength – with bending capacity of up to 60%, superior to solid 6″ x 6″ posts and other column configurations.
