Are you more in to sleek simple columns, or big stately columns? What’s your style? 🤔#outdoordesign

What happens here

With the main column wrap installed, finish the base by attaching a decorative trim piece. Measure and cut base trim pieces from PVC to fit snugly around the bottom of the installed column wrap. Using a cordless drill and appropriate exterior-grade screws, fasten these base trim pieces to the column wrap. This step adds a finished look to the column and further protects the base from impact and moisture.

Goal: Apply decorative trim to the base of the column wrap
