BUILDING PILLARS
ESPLANADE TANDEM PILLARS
The pillars are built by two
Esplanade Tandem units (F or G) facing each other to form
the front and back surfaces of the pillar . Two veneers are then installed and attached
on either side of the structural units, using the
corner connectors . This forms the first
course of the pillar . The second course repeats the first course, placed at a 90° angle .
We recommend attaching the units together using adhesive on every course .
It is possible to build 2 different pillar sizes . The maximum height of one pillar ranges
from 1200 mm to 1500 mm (4 to 5 ft) above ground, with a minimum buried depth of
150 mm (6") . The capping is added using the various
Esplanade capping units from
Permacon (see table below)
