Construction Knowledge Series - Column Supports

     

                                                         Custom Built Porch Column Supports

Porch columns can experience decay and excessive water infiltration at their bases. This can be due to the configuration of the roof overhang, the rain water down spout location or in the this case the configuration the handrail connections as well as the roof overhang.

 A simple and cost effective solution to remedy this situation is to cut the column and place a decorative column base at the desired height. The process involves jacking up the porch to relieve the comprehensive load from the column, typically a 3 ton jack is all that is needed. 

Consult an Engineer before making any changes to structural components. 

Take a measurement from the bearing surface to the underside of the cut off column. When making the column cut it is important to make a level cut to insure adequate and level bearing on the new base. Be sure to save the undamaged base shoe of the column, you will need this finish piece after the column base is finished. Build the base to the exact height measurement form the bearing surface to the underside of the column. Be sure to add at least a 1/4" to 1/2" space to the full height measurement you've taken to allow you to be able slide the new base under the column. 

Build the new box to the width and height dimensions you've gathered. Allow for a full square pressure treated base underneath your box as well as a top plate to close in the top of your box. Decorate all four sides of the box with your preferred trim or other decorative material, you can be creative at this point.
