COLUMN WRAP INSTALL
COUNTRY LEDGESTONE COLUMN WRAP
1) Fir out the desired column to 13 ¾" x 13 ¾".
2) Starter Strip- Determine the height above ground the boom of the column
should be. Measure up 2 ¾" from this point and strike a level line. Aach the
top of the starter strip on this line. Level and aach starter strip on each face,
stopping 2" from each corner. (Fig. 6)
3) Each box contains 2 le (L-2,L-4)and 2 right corners(R-1, R-3). 2 boxes are
needed per 2 courses. Use 4 right pieces for 1 course and 4 le pieces for the
next course. Dry t corners R-1, R-3 and R-1, R-3. Slide down onto the starter
strip and aach all pieces where indicated on the screw hem. (Fig. 7)
4) Aaching the Corners- There are 3 screw points on the long side of the corner, and 2
on the shorter end. Make sure to use 5 screws per corner. Hold the boom edge of corner
snug against the substrate while placing the screws to prevent over ghtening of the
screw hem. This prevents the boom edge from kicking out. (Fig. 8)
5) Dry t corners L-2, L-4 and L-2, L-4. Slide down and aach as described above.
6) For the next course, use corners R-3, R-1 and R-3, R-1 to prevent paern repeon.
Finally use corners L-4, L-2 and L-4, L-2 for the 4th row. Connue to alternate as needed
unl the desired height is achieved. (Fig. 9)
Note to Installer: Do not over ghten the screws when aaching the corner pieces.
When over ghtened, the corner piece will “kick out” at the boom and create a gap. If
the gap is present, pull the corners together to minimize the gap, then face screw through
the female tongue, through the male base plate, and into the substrate. Use a 3" deck
screw for this purpose. (Fig. 10) Use caulk to ll screw head and
touch up paint for a professional nish.
The 18" Post Cap is designed to t over the LedgeStone Column if
the top course of corners ends with the screw hems aached or
with the screw hems removed.
Screw Aachment: Drive one screw per side through the boom
lip of the cap all the way into the substrate. Be Careful to angle the
Screws so they don’t run through the top of the cap. Do not overdrive
screws.
