A Tall Order

Totally weatherproof and virtually maintenance-free, PermaCast columns from HB&G are molded from a proprietary fiberglasscomposite material for exceptional loadbearing capabilities.

Available fluted or unfluted in four popular sizes, the columns can be used with HB&G's Polvwood (polyurethani:) caps and bases for a completely rot, wary and insect-proof column system that needs no weather protection such as internal asphaltum coatings or ventilation.

The upper twothirds of column shafts are tapered to offset an undesirable optical illusion generated by parallel lines in vertical structures.

Windows-style IBM Common User Access standards (pull-down menus, pop-up windows, list boxes, hot keys and push buftons).

Molded from water-diffusible boron, they are inserted into small holes drilled in wood where it is most susceptible to rot. The holes are sealed with a wooden dowel, putty or caulk that can be painted or stained. Rods remain in a solid state until the wood's moisture content exceeds 20Vo. They then begin to dissolve and diffuse into the wood.

As the rods dissolve, the boron migrates to areas of highest moistue, where wood is most susceptible to rot. If the wood dries, diffusion stops and the residual preservative remains in place. Depending upon conditions of moisture, rods need not be replaced for years.

Ododess, colorless, non-staining and low in toxicity to humans and animals, they fit virtually any application, including beavy timbers, beams, joists, posts, millwork, windows and door frames.
