Installation instructions, step by step, for Faux Stone Depot's faux stone column wraps applied to any porch pillar or basement metal posts.

Faux Stone Columns
Wraps.

2. Here’s what all the parts look before installing them.

3. Suggested Tools
Our Faux Stone Columns are very easy to install. All
you really need is some basic tools.

4. Creating A Support
We suggest beginning the installation by making a support that is a bit less than 12 inches. You
can use pressure-treated wood, metal or any material you wish.
They can be straight or shaped to wrap around the existing post.

5. Base Anchoring
We suggest installing a brace toward the bottom but not in contact with the floor. This will
prevent the material from getting and staying wet.

6. Start With 2 Panels
What we recommend is not to install all the four panels at
the same time but rather in groups of two. Go ahead
and glue/screw two faux stone panels together than
attach them to the braces.

7. Continue With The Other Two
Now take the other two faux rock panels and glue & screw
them together. This is much easier to do away from your post
and just focusing on lining up the fingers. When finished,
attach them to the post/pillar and to the other two panels
previously installed.

8. Mounting Posts Vertically
In our catalog you will notice two size wraps, 6 ft. and 3 ft. If
either of them is not tall enough you can easily install two or
more on top of each other following the same steps above.
Make sure you use a brace along the edge where the two
posts meet to create a tight joint. Glue and screw the two
posts to each other and to these braces.

9. Our Two Caps
We offer two types of caps based on the type of installation
and project. If the wrap is free standing you may want to
use our closed caps. If you plan to wrap an existing post
(such as the one in the above images) then the split cap
may be your choice. Either cap can be cut with a saw to
create hole in the middle.

10. The Last Step
Although our products are waterproof we always recommend
sealing the edges where the product has been cut. You may
also want to caulk all the areas where water can penetrate
and damage the braces you created. You also don’t want to
have water inside where it would be hard to dry. Any caulked
area can be colored with our paint kits.
