HB&G PVC Column Installation Notes & Tips PermaWrap
• THE PVC COLUMN HAS NO TESTED STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES: The column is designed to install around a previously installed structural post.
The structural post inside the column, supplied by others, provides the load-bearing component of the column. The load-bearing capacity of the
column is determined by the physical properties of the structural post. The architect or engineer will specify load- bearing requirements of the
structural post. The structural post must be of ACQ, CCA or other treated lumber, or steel. DO NOT USE UNTREATED LUMBER FOR STRUCTURAL
POSTS. Possible infiltration of water and possible condensation inside the PVC column shaft can cause degradation of untreated lumber! The
bottom of the structural post should be mounted to a wooden deck or concrete/masonry porch floor using a code-approved post anchor. The top
of the structural post should be mounted to the beam using a code-approved method and code approved post-to-beam mounting bracket.
• TEMPERATURE RELATED ISSUES: PVC Columns become more brittle in colder temperatures. When the columns become more brittle, they
are more susceptible to damage. It is recommended that the columns themselves be warmed to at least 50°F before installing. This can be
accomplished by moving the columns into a heated space and allowing adequate time for the temperature of the columns to warm up. The
outdoor ambient temperature can be considerably colder than 50°F, but if the columns themselves can be warmed up, they can then be installed
with reduced risk of damaging them in the process. If you are unable to warm the columns before installation, you should first drill pilot holes
for the fasteners before fastening the columns together. Be careful when nailing the columns and try to avoid striking the column faces with a
hammer. Note that if your particular columns are designed with miter- folded corners which have not been folded closed yet, they will definitely
be susceptible to fracture if they cannot be warmed. If the miter-folded corner does fracture, you will still have a good miter joint, which consists
of (2) separate pieces.
• CUTTING AND FASTENING: The Cellular PVC material that the columns are constructed of can easily be cut with conventional carpentry and
woodworking tools. Pneumatic finish nailers and staplers can be used to fasten Cellular PVC parts together. Large pneumatic framing nailers and
staplers are not suitable for the fastening this material as the percussion of the drivers of large nail guns can fracture the PVC material. Coarse-
thread, galvanized or stainless-steel drywall screws are also for suitable for fastening Cellular PVC parts together. It is suggested that pilot holes
be used for screws longer than 1- 5/8".
