Introducing Turncraft Columns and Porch Posts
There's nothing like the beauty of real wood turnings to add distinction, character, and value to a building project.
Turncraft Columns and Porch Posts add charm and personality from the inside out. To walkways, landings, decks, and porches. They are turned from finger-jointed, kiln-dried wood.
Columns may be load-bearing to purely decorative. No matter what the application, Turncraft columns are manufactured to following the Classic Orders of Architecture.
To provide maximum protection against mold, mildew, and staining and decaying fungi, each post has been fully immersed in WoodTreat® MB water-repellant wood preservative. All turned areas have been carefully sanded for easy finishing.
For that extra touch of appeal to any Porch Post installation, add Turncraft Corbels.
