Culpeper Wood Preservers has launched Culpeper Column PLUS, a hollow 6x6 laminated column made from southern yellow pine that is lighter weight, easier to handle, stronger and less likely to twist and crack compared to traditional solid wood columns.
Designed for applications such as porch columns, decking, and load-bearing roofs, it can be painted, stained or customized to achieve a variety of looks and serves as a real-wood alternative to PVC, fiberglass or aluminum columns.
Its hollow construction allows users to run wiring through the interior for junction boxes, outdoor lights, speakers, and more.
Columns are treated to 0.23 for UC4B ground contact (compared to 0.15 of standard columns) for heavier retention and added longevity once installed in the substrate. They also possess greater load-carrying capacity than solid timbers and boast strength ratings that outperform both composite and PVC options.
