Inlay segments of 99 mm fillet followed by a spindle-sized gap. Fillets should be secured to the base rail with panel pins
Repeat this process for thehandrail
Insert all of the spindles into the gaps left between the fillet and cover with the handrail. You may wish to use wood glue before inserting the spindles
Fix the handrail to the post using angle brackets
Roman columns: How to install
Screw down through deck board to roman column
Screw up through deck board to joist above; this ensures no screws are visible at the top
Roman column: end post assembly
It is important to treat any exposed timber with a suitable end grain preserver to help protect against rot and decay
Cut four lengths of deck board to the desired height to match your roman column wall
Secure these together as shown to create a complete post
Roman column: post cap assembly
Cut two triangles from the end of a deck board; these will form the top of the post
See detail below.
