1) Fir out the desired column to 13⅞” x 13⅞” .

2) Each box contains 4 PIECES, MARKED 1-4.

Place the first panel (# 1) against the firred out column. Make sure to place all panels with the top arrow pointing up. Slide in panel #2 and #3 on the right and left side( as you are facing panel #1). This will center panel #1 over the enclosure.( Fig. 1) After “dry fitting” the side panels, attach the bottom of panel #1 about 1” from the bottom using (3) 2” exterior screws. (Fig. 2) Place the screws in the grout lines to best hide screw heads and minimize touch up work (Fig. 2). For additional stability, place screws in the grout line about 15 1/2” from the base. This screws through the inner landing of the panel. (Fig. 3) Then screw the hem where indicated.

3) Next, seat the side pieces, (# 2 and #3) into the tab interlock of panel #1 and check for tightness of joints.

(Fig. 4)Facing panel 1, panel 2 is on the right side, and panel 3 is on the left side. Make sure to place all panels with the top arrow pointing up.

Attach the side panels using the same procedure as described for panel #1.

4) Attach panel number 4 at the base, then slide into panels #2 and #3.

Make sure joints are tight, then secure as described above. (Fig. 5)

5) To make columns higher than 30”, simply stack the next course using the ship lap at the bottom.

Screw across the bottom in the grout line, and the screw hem at the top. (Fig. 6)

The Sandstone 18″ Cap is designed to fit over the Slatestone Column if the top course of corners either ends with the screw hems attached or with the screw hems removed.

Screw Attachment:

Drive one screw per side through the bottom lip of the cap all the way into the substrate. Be Careful to angle the Screws so they don’t run through the top of the cap. Do not overdrive screws.

Adhesive Attachments

1) If the top course ends with the screw hem attached:
Place adhesive in each corner of the cap and secure. (Fig. 1).
2) If the top course of corners has the screw hems cut off, face screw each piece 1” from the top so that the cap covers the screw heads. Place adhesive on inside
cutouts as shown (Fig. 2).
