There are four different types of Greek columns. They are called: Ionic, Doric, Corinthian. The Doric is just a tall plain pillar with a squared top and bottom. The Ionic is a fancier type of Doric, but instead of a squared top, it has spiraled corners. Lastly, the Corinthian is WAY fancier than any other. It has pedal like shapes all around it.

Traditionally speaking, their are twenty-four channels on each column, although this may be changed depending on taste.The Doric column is the oldest and least complicated style of Greek column. The top of the column is saucer shaped. It has a larger width than the rest of the fiberglass column, and it then meets with a box shape on the top.
