Note: PermaLite columns are no longer offered. This information will remain available as a reference.
PermaLite columns are a cost-effective, load bearing, and versatile option. Manufactured using pultrusion technology, PermaLite columns have the same structural benefits at almost 1/3 of the weight of our PermaCast columns. For example, a 10” PermaCast column has a load bearing capacity of 14,000 pounds. A 10” PermaLite column has a load bearing capacity of 7,000 pounds. A 10” Wood column has a load bearing capacity of 4,200 pounds.
They come ready to prime and paint with a Limited Lifetime Warranty. This is the perfect weatherproof and low maintenance option for a porch. PermaLite is available in plain, square, and recessed panel options with several different cap and base styles. PermaLite columns cannot be split.
