How to Select
Your Turncraft Column or Post
(or which Turncraft column or post is right for you)
To determine which product is the best for your project, youll want to consider several things:
location, style, size, and plan type. Not all styles, sizes or plan types are made in all materials.
All Turncraft products (except the Craftsman Series) are manufactured whole and are designed to
be load bearing. If you need to wrap an existing load support, all of our columns are able to be split
in half at the factory or by the installer and re-assembled, or they can be split to be used as pilasters.
Craftsman Series columns are square, tapered or non-tapered, and are shipped KD (knocked-down)
to be assembled around an existing load support. Craftsman Series pedestals are unique in that
they may be used to add a pedestal look to any existing column, or combined with any of our other
products to create a pedestal/column look.
I. DETERMINE THE LOCATION.

Where this product will be used interior or exterior. All of our products are fine for interior
use. Wood may be a more familiar material to work with, but all products can be installed with
standard carpentry techniques and tools.
Best for exterior: Poly-Classic products (low maintenance, lifetime warranty, waterproof), and
Turncraft Architectural redwood or cedar columns. A large selection of styles are available. Poly-
Classic products require painting (except DuraStone columns and Poly-Classic Porch Posts).
Poly-Classic column products include:

FRP columns (fiberglass reinforced polymer)
DuraGlass columns (resin-infused or pultruded fiberglass)
Craftsman Series (PVCexpanded cellular poly-vinyl-chloride)
DuraStone columns are a unique product that are available in three colors sand, ivory and slate
and textured to resemble stone. These columns do not require paint.
Colonial wood columns are also used for exterior installations. Turncraft Architectural exterior
columns are usually made of redwood, cedar or pine. Redwood and cedar have a 10 year limited
warranty, and pine has a 1 year limited warranty. Exterior wood products require painting.
Turncraft Architectural also provides our most complete selection of styles and sizes, including
interior stain grade columns.
Colonial wood columns and posts are made of finger joint pine. Columns have a 1 year limited
warranty. All porch posts are covered by our lifetime limited warranty and Post Defense program.
Colonial wood products require painting.

III. DETERMINE THE STYLE.

Perhaps most important, is of course style. This includes the classical orders of architecture:
Greek Doric, Tuscan, Roman Doric, Ionic and Corinthian, with the addition of our own
Colonial style. All round columns are available plain or fluted (except DuraGlass), and most
square columns are available plain, fluted or with panels.

SIMPLICITY GIVES YOUR DESIGN CENTER STAGE.

The distinguishing characteristic of the Tuscan Order is simplicity. Seldom fluted, the minimal mouldings and stylishly
clean lines provide a robust appearance. When used in true architectural proportions, the height of the column, including
cap and base, is seven diameters. Tuscan columns in antiquity are found on the Temple of Piety in Rome.
Roman Doric
Available in:

CLASSIC DESIGN REACHES NEW HEIGHTS.

The Roman Doric order features an increase of decorative moulding over the Tuscan Order. Vignolas Denticulated Doric
Cap has a stepped, three-fillet support of the echinus instead of the single-fillet support of the Tuscan Order. The Doric
base is similar to the Tuscan, but the addition of a bead above the torus moulding is an elegant embellishment. According
to Vignola, the height of the Doric Column, including cap and base, should be eight diameters. Vignola Denticulated Doric
is imitated closely from the Roman Theater of Marcellus.
800 423 3311
Ionic Available in:

ADDED EMBELLISHMENTS CREATE IMPRESSIVE SPACES.

Embellishing the Ionic Order are ornate scrolls decorating the capital of the column. These scrolls derive their intriguing
shape from the Nautilus shell. We include the Temple of Winds and Roman Doric Ornamental capitals, with their intricate
designs, in our Ionic styles. Most commonly, Ionic columns incorporate twenty-four flutes separated by fillets that are
about one-half the flute width. Customarily, the Ionic Order column height, including capital and base, is nine diameters.
A prime example of the Ionic Order as it was used in Rome is the Temple of Fortuna Virilis.
Corinthian
Available in:

MAKE IT THE CROWNING JEWEL OF YOUR PROJECT.

Columns of the Corinthian Order are crowned with an inverted bell-shaped capital. The capital is richly adorned with
Acanthus leaves. This column is almost always fluted. Like the Ionic, the Corinthian column exhibits twenty-four flutes
and an Attic Base. The height of Corinthian columns, including capital and base, is ten diameters. This is a common
Roman order that was used on the Temple of Mars Ultor.

Greek Doric
Available in:
BRING HOME THE ELEGANCE OF THE PARTHENON.

The Greek Doric Order is unique among column styles with its absence of a base and astragal. The column height in ratio
to its diameter varies greatly when viewed in antiquity: the architectural proportions can range from four to six diameters.
Normally fluted, the Greek Doric has twenty flutes, with no fillets, so the flutes come to a peak (arris flutes). The depth of
the flute is approximately one-sixth of the flute width. Greek Doric columns are most commonly recognized as those found
on the Parthenon in Athens.
Wood Colonial

COL Colonial Wood.................... pages 4245
ELEGANT NEW WORLD ENHANCEMENTS FOR YOUR HOME.

As with many iconic Old World items, New World designers have taken the basic column concept and adorned it with a
unique, more contemporary style. The Colonial style redefines the column with simplicity, yet retains the elegance desired
to make bold statements for entryways and interiors. Available smooth or fluted, the entire line of ornamental capitals is
also available for personalizing the column to fit any dcor.

Arts and Crafts

Available in:
THE STYLE IS TIMELESS. NOW THE COLUMN IS TOO.

Born out of the understated, practical tradition of the early 1900's Arts and Crafts movement, the square tapered column has
become popular in modern adaptations of the Craftsman, Prairie, Bungalow, Country, and Mission style homes of today. Also
available non-tapered, this timeless style is manufactured from expanded cellular PVC for quick, easy assembly and virtually
maintenance-free performance! Now you can recapture the simple, honest artistry of yesterdays craftsman with todays most
advanced materials and construction techniques.

AN ALL-AMERICAN DECOR ATIVE TR ADITION CONTINUES.

When a column would simply be too much, but a decorative touch is essential, a Porch Post from Turncraft would be the
perfect choice. Often featured on Farmhouse and Country style houses with their spacious porches, and Victorian homes
with their intricate details, the Colonial pattern is a traditional favorite. Porch Posts add charm and personality to walkways,
landings, decks, and porches. There is nothing like the beauty of a Porch Post to add distinction and character to any home.

POLY-CLASSIC DUR ASTONE COLUMNS

Get the strength and durability of our popular Poly-Classic FRP columns in a natural stone finish. Du-
raStone columns are designed to simulate natural stone and just like in nature, the color and texture
may vary slightly. DuraStone columns are available in all the same sizes as our paint grade FRP columns
with Tuscan caps and bases. (Roman Doric caps are not available). We also have a limited selection of
decorative capitals to match the columns. The bases on the larger columns (18 and over) will come in two
pieces; when installed the assembly seam will be visible. For specifications and other information please
refer to the Poly-Classic FRP column specifications on pages 13-19.
READY TO INSTALL
Poly-Classic DuraStone Columns do not need to be primed or painted. Simply cut to length and install.
Poly-Classic DuraStone Columns have the same load-bearing capacity as our standard Poly-Classic
FRP Columns.
MAINTENANCE-FREE
Poly-Classic DuraStone Columns are colored throughout utilizing UV inhibitors that will minimize
color fade over time. (Turncraft warrants that during the first ten years following the date of installation,
the degree of color change will not exceed 17 delta.) Because there is no need for primer or paint, there is
also no need for touch-ups. The non-porous design makes the columns impervious to moisture damage.

Classic Craftsman columns are crafted from poly/ optional neck moulding is included. Since the shafts will be
resin, and will ship split in half (to reassemble around manufactured to be correct with the selected capital, there
the load support). Each style is proportionally scaled is no need to worry about a height adjustment value with
for the width of the shaft. The Empire with Necking, PVC columns. Larger sizes may be available.

CRAFTSMAN SERIES PEDESTALS WITH POLY-CLASSIC FRP COLUMNS
FRP CRF
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 attached: the base should temporarily be
held above the height of the pedestal.
The Craftsman pedestal is then assembled around the

FRP column, and the pedestal trim installed following
the typical pedestal installation instructions.
Following the pedestal assembly, the column base is

lowered to the top of the pedestal and attached.
Pedestals can also be installed around existing columns

to update and freshen the look.
Please specify if your column is round or square, as well

as the width, so that we can correctly cut out the top
platform of the pedestal to install around your column.

Comparison of the Orders
Turncraft Architectural wood ARC
columns are our premier product
for precise attention to detail both in design
and quality. Unlike FRP columns, where
the manufacturing processes dictate some
alterations to details, our wood columns are
closest to true architectural specifications
such as proportion, fluting and entasis (taper
or bow).
Architectural columns are best proportioned
when following the suggestions of William
Ware (The American Vignola), Robert
Chitham (The Classic Orders of Architecture),
Palladio and others to emulate the ancient
architecture of Greece and Rome. The
illustration Comparison of the Orders
shows how the height and diameter ratio
affects columns of a similar diameter. Tip: to
determine the correct diameter for a column
in the height you need, simply divide the
height by the diameter factor given below
Greek Doric Tuscan Roman Doric Ionic Corinthian the style chosen. For example, at a two-story
4 to 6 Diameters 7 Diameters 8 Diameters 9 Diameters 10 Diameters
height of 198, an Ionic column (9 diameters)
should be 22 in diameter (198/9=22), or a Tuscan column (7 diameters) should be 28 in diameter.
In addition to the round columns shown, Turncraft Architectural can provide wood columns in non-
architectural proportions, in many plan types, including squares, octagons and pilasters, either straight or
tapered, as well as coupled columns, and other custom configurations.
Using our computerized lathes, our wood columns typically have the correct column entasis (taper or bow)
the lower one-third of the shaft is straight, and the upper two-thirds has a diminishing
Entasis Taper
taper. The Entasis Taper illustration shows precisely how this is generated. We also
have the ability to customize the shaft taper. For example, straight tapers are common, 1'-1.50"
as well as barrel columns where the center of the shaft is larger than both ends.
10.44"
For exterior use, the recommended wood for shafts is redwood or cedar because of their 1'-2.25"
10.44"
inherent resistance to insects and wood rot, and they carry a ten year limited warranty.
Primed Primed Pine is also available, with a one year limited warranty. Cap 1'-2.88"
and base for exterior columns are usually polyurethane (up 10.44"
to 16 columns) or fiberglass (18 and larger). 1'-3.38"

10.44"
Pine Cedar For interior use, Turncraft is able to manufacture columns 1'-3.72"
from a wide variety of woods. Paint grade woods are typically

10.44"
7'-10"
finger-jointed pine or poplar, and stain grade 1'-3.94"
can be practically any species imaginable.

10.44"
Our most popular stain grade species are 1'-4"
Red Oak Walnut Alder red oak, mahogany, cherry, maple, alder, and
walnut. The examples here show the differences
2'-7.34"
in grain and color. However its best to keep in

mind that the finish used affects the final color,
so this isnt an exact match.

Plaster Ornamental Capitals are coated with boiled linseed oil and turpentine as a temporary protector
until they can be primed and coated with at least two coats of oil-base paint on the inside and outside. (If
capitals are allowed to gather moisture before painting, peeling is likely to occur and further coating will
be futile.) Ornamental Capitals are shipped with a load-bearing plug, which must bear the weight of any
load on the column. Specifications and materials are subject to change without notice. Poly/Resin Capitals
are load bearing, and do not require plugs.
Exterior and paint-grade interior columns feature polyurethane or fiberglass caps and bases (see charts)
to provide crisp, true architectural detail and increased durability. Special-order wood caps and bases are
available. Optional aluminum plinths provide an extra measure of protection.

COLONIAL COLUMN FLUTE SPECIFICATIONS

Actual lengths of the flutes for standard configurations are shown in the
accompanying tables. The extra few inches above the base allow the installer
to adjust heights as needed to accommodate the variations in porch heights
and slopes. Custom flute lengths are available upon request, for the same
price as standard fluted columns. Fluting typically ends 4 from the base
on custom fluted columns. If using standard height columns with custom
height columns, it is best to order the standard height columns custom
fluted as well to match the 4 bottom spacing.

Quality at Every Turn
AT TURNCR AFT THE QUALITY STARTS WITH THE MATERIALS.
As a division of Cascade Wood Products, we have
direct control of the raw materials used in our wood
products. Unlike other column manufacturers,
our ability to monitor materials at each step of the
process ensures every Turncraft wood column
will offer both the natural beauty and the quality
needed to stand the test of time. Quality control is
further improved by using specialized machinery
unique to each product line. By keeping our
manufacturing facilities separate, we can better Thoughtful design, exceptional materials
monitor, control and improve how well and how and fine workmanship.
efficiently all of our products are constructed.
CREATING BEAUTY IS AN EXACTING PROCESS.

For Architectural Series columns, finger-jointed* or solid staves are milled to required
dimensions, assembled using the strongest Type-I waterproof glue, then metal-banded
for curing. A computer-controlled lathe turns the assembled shaft to the precise taper
desired, complete with true architectural entasis. The top is profiled, the entire column
is machine sanded and flutes are milled at precise intervals and depths, ending in half-
rounds at the top and bottom (except on Greek Doric).

In 1994, we introduced our Poly-Classic line of fiberglass-reinforced polymer (FRP)
columns to offer customers a more versatile and durable alternative. In 2005, we added the
Poly-Classic Craftsman linea popular design made of expanded cellular PVC for
easy assembly and virtually maintenance-free performance.
CUSTOM SOLUTIONS
While Turncraft offers an extremely diverse lineup of products
in more sizes and styles, we are also here to serve your
imagination. With our access to the finest building materials,
if you can dream it we can build it for you.

potential for warping and bow, and helps prevent checking or
