When shopping for porch columns there are plenty of things to consider before making a decision. Many different styles of porch columns exist, made from a variety of materials. Porch columns are often purchased to add a more decorative and sophisticated look to a home. These columns may be chosen as either stand-alone columns or half-columns which sit atop a porch railing. Each column has a base, shaft and capital. The base is the utmost bottom foundation and is found in many shapes and thicknesses. Shafts are the longest part of the column and are generally flat or grooved. From simple to intricately detailed, the capital is the decorative part atop the base that gives the column much of its defined personality. Choosing the desired style of column should be the first step in the shopping process. Columns of the Greek or Roman influences are the most popular. Each of these types offer plenty of different styles to suit each person’s taste. Designed similar to the columns found at the Parthenon are Greek Doric columns; these are perhaps the most highly sought for their sophisticated style. Roman Tuscan columns reflect a more simple elegance. Once a style of column has been decided upon, choosing the material is the next very important step. To choose the best material, it is first recommended to determine how much weight these columns will support. Smaller porches are able to hold lighter materials, but porches which are recessed fairly far will require a much stronger column. Some of the most popular affordable materials for columns are fiber reinforced polymer, concrete, stone and wood. Granite and marble are more expensive materials; those seeking an elaborate column often prefer these luxury items. Another thought to keep in mind when shopping for porch columns is upkeep of the columns. Some columns will crack due to weather or stress and wood columns are notorious for chipping paint and weathering due to moisture. Wood columns are becoming much less popular due to their high maintenance demand and risk for termites. Some columns may be difficult to repaint, so selecting a finish that will be durable and resistant is very important.
