The Square Wood Column or Post Cover is a non-load-bearing column designed to either stand on its own or wrap around a jack post, lolly post, or existing support. It offers two options for the capital and base set: Traditional, or Craftsman, allowing you to seamlessly match it with your existing decor. 

Astragal trim is also included with with Traditional or Craftsman Column (as shown).

Our Square Wood 8" Column has a column shaft consisting of four unpainted MDF sides, each measuring 1/2" thick and 7 ⅝" x 8 ft. These sides are cleverly designed to fit together like puzzle pieces, utilizing lock mitre joints for easy assembly. The unassembled nature of the column allows it to be used to wrap around a jack post, lolly post, or existing support. To assist with the assembly process, we provide all the pre-cut trims, mounting brackets, tape, and MDF glue.
