Whether you’re installing joist hangers or putting in new windows and doors, ensuring that a building has adequate support during construction and renovations is important. A jack post, or adjustable columns, can help maintain the structural integrity of a home or commercial building and allow you to comply with safety regulations and building codes. Ace Hardware carries a range of adjustable steel columns, making it easy to find the right option for your project.
Non-Adjustable vs Adjustable Steel Columns
Your building support options are easily narrowed down between non-adjustable and adjustable columns. Both provide additional structural support in buildings, but there are some differences between them.
- Adjustable columns are often referred to as jack posts. A jack post is usually a temporary solution. You may use one to keep a building supported while you renovate or install one in an emergency until permanent repairs can be made. Once the work is done, the jack post can be safely removed and reused again elsewhere.
- Non-adjustable columns are often referred to as Lally columns. They can be used as temporary solutions as well. But they can also serve as permanent building supports in basements and crawl spaces where building codes allow. In some cases, people may even choose to enclose a non-adjustable building support column in wood or surround it with drywall to help it blend into a finished room.
How to Use a Building Support
Building support columns come in a variety of heights. Before purchasing adjustable columns, take measurements to determine what size you need for your project. Once you have the adjustable column, begin installation by attaching the upper plate of the support to the beam above. To do so, you’ll likely need to use a corded or cordless drill to create holes for the column’s bolts.
After you have the beam ready, place the plate on the top of the column and raise it to about 0.5-inch short of the beam you need to support. Move the column into position and then slowly raise it until it rests snugly against the beam. In some cases, you’ll need to remove the adjustment lever to finish up the installation.
Maintaining Adjustable Steel Columns
If you plan to use adjustable building support over a longer period of time, you’ll need to take steps to protect it over time. Steel can rust when exposed to moisture, making it important that there are wall vents or foundation vents in the area to promote airflow. In spaces where adjustable columns are likely to be exposed to moisture or caustic substances on an ongoing basis, you may want to finish the supports with a protective coating like rust prevention paint.
