COLONIAL COLUMN SPECIFICATIONS
FLUTING (CONT’D):
Actual lengths of the flutes for standard configurations are shown in the accompanying tables.
The extra few inches above the base allow the installer to adjust heights as needed to accommodate the
variations in porch heights and slopes.
Custom flute lengths are available upon request, for the same price as standard fluted columns. Fluting
typically ends 4” from the base on custom fluted columns. If using standard height columns with custom
height columns, it is best to order the standard height columns custom fluted as well to match the 4” bot-
tom spacing.
If the column is using Ornamental Capitals, the fluting is adjusted to accommodate the capital height and
correct trimming at the shaft astragal (neck ring) or fillet. Please note that on shorter capitals, this will end
up with a column that is shorter than nominal height. See specifications for Colonial Caps and Base for
details, or our detail department and/or customer service personnel can assist you in determining correct
column heights and fluting specifications for your specific applications.
