The difference
is in every detail.
Built stronger. Built smarter. Built to last.
Prime Columns are engineered from the ground up to deliver strength, stability and long-term performance. Every step of our process — from the wood we select to the way we build and test our columns — is done with one goal in mind: to give you a better-performing, easier-to-use column.
ENGINEERED FOR STRENGTH & STABILITY
• Engineered laminated construction resists twisting, checking and splitting.
• Hollow core design reduces weight while maintaining superior strength.
• Tested to structural capacities up to 10.5 times recommended design loads for available hardware.
TREATED FOR THE JOB
• Pressure treated with UC4B (Use Category 4B) for maximum protection.
• Higher retention (.23 pcf) than standard UC4A (.15 pcf) for longer life and greater peace of mind.
KILN DRIED AFTER TREATMENT
• KDAT (Kiln Dried After Treatment) for dimensional stability.
• Reduces shrinkage, checking and warping.
• Provides a better surface for paints and stains to adhere.
DESIGNED AROUND THE WAY YOU BUILD
• Hollow center allows for easy electrical runs.
• Full nominal size for a clean, substantial look.
• Temporary end caps keep debris out during construction.
• Compatible with standard hardware.
• Individually wrapped for protection on the job site and in transit. (except 4x4)
BACKED BY A LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
• Peace of mind that your investment is protected.
• Limited lifetime warranty against structural failure caused by rot, fungal decay or termites.
• Because long-term performance matters after the job is finished.
SUSTAINABLY MADE IN THE USA
• Manufactured in the USA using responsibly sourced Southern Yellow Pine.
• Supporting American jobs and local communities.
Laminated columns by Prime Columns provide exceptional value for porch columns, deck posts or any other application where a structural post or timber may be desired.
