Installation Guide
7. Check for plumb. 8. After ensuring that the column
supports the load and is stable,
remove temporary support.
9. Secure the top and bottom of
the column. Column should be
vented at the top and bottom.
10. Prime with an oil-based primer
and paint immediately. You can
also stain YellaWood® columns
with a high-quality stain with
water-repellent.
WARNING: Use extreme care when installing YellaWood® columns, and ensure that the column and
temporary support are secure during installation and that the column is fully secure after installation.
Supported loads (such as roofs), the columns, or the temporary support can fall or move and cause
property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
YellaWood® columns are kiln dried after treatment, which means
they must be kept totally dry (covered and elevated) prior to
being installed and must be painted or stained immediately after
installation. Please read the Handling Guide thoroughly.
YellaWood® columns are treated with a micronized copper preservative.
This treatment means you’ll enjoy improved painting and staining
characteristics, approval for contact with aluminum*, and peace of mind
knowing you’ve used a product treated with an EPP-certied preservative
process based on a life-cycle assessment. YellaWood® columns are
backed by a lifetime limited warranty against rot, fungal decay and termite
attack.
*In code-compliant construction applications that provide proper water drainage and do not
allow the wood to be exposed to standing water or water immersion.
