SYSTEM
A full steel pillar grid can be used to build a pillar with an overall
height above ground, including the capping unit, of 1067 mm
(42") .
When the last row is reached, cut off the tops of the connectors
with sheet-metal shears or twist them off by hand . Then install
the capping unit on the pillar, adhering it in place with glue .
Important note: the capping unit must rest on the veneer units
and not on the steel pillar grid .
Upper connector
Lower connector
When using 180 mm high veneer units, use four connectors
as shown below, beginning with the two lower ones and ending
with the two upper ones .
To integrate 180 mm units into a pillar, use only 180 mm
E and F units with textured corners . Carefully place the veneer units
so that the joints are staggered, and ensure that you place at least
one 180 mm unit on each side of the pillar, and not more than two .
