How to Know What Size Base is Needed

Measure the circumference of the bottom of the shaft before it engages the base. To size the base, the best way is to tape a piece of string to one side of the shaft, go all around the circle. The length of the string is the circumference of the bottom of the shaft. The length x 3.14 will equal the diameter. The hole should be 1/4" larger than the shaft diameter. Select from the standard models below or order custom sized.

All About Tuscan Bases

Tuscan Bases are used with the classical Order of Tuscan created by the Etruscans (6th Century BC). They have one rounded profile (Torus) that sits on a square (Plinth) Imperial Productions® offers them Load Bearing made from exterior hardwood staves glued together as done for the past 200 years. Select from exterior woods White Pine, White Oak, Western Red Cedar. The maximum diameter of the Torus is 36" (91.44cm) with any size of Plinth. Order 1 or 2 parts to any custom size and even parts of the column shaft that may be rotted. Decorative Tuscan Bases are hollow and do not hold load. They envelope a load bearing plug or the column shaft that supports the column's weight. All are made from molds (split or whole)

SPLIT BASES FOR COLUMN WRAP

All of our bases can be split for column wrap.

ArchPolymerTM bases are very easy to cut with a hand saw or hack-saw. You will loose the thickness of the blade. We suggest cutting the base on the diagonal so that the join will be mitigated. Use the approved adhesive and poly spackling compound to cover the seam

FRP-PolyCompTM are much harder to cut due to the hardness of the material. We recommend ordering them precut, however if you cut them yourself we suggest a reciprocating saw or saws-all with a thin blade.

Issue: The bases of the columns are rotted and need to be replaced

Solution: an Economical Approach for non National Trust Buildings

The traditional base is solid wood and holds the load of the column shaft.

For historic buildings we can create exact reproductions.

For average homes where there is economic constraints you create a load bearing plug to hold the shaft weight and cover it with one of our composite bases. Take 2x4s or 2x6s Pressure Treated Lumber and glue and screw the pieces together on their ends to create a laminated square larger than the column shaft bottom. Cut the square with a jig saw into a circle the same diameter as the bottom of the shaft so that the shaft will sit on the new load bearing plug. Cover the plug with a composite base as seen below. The hole size of the base should be slightly larger than your load bearing plug accounting for the thickness of the blade if you have to cut the base in half to wrap the plug.
