Our Roman Doric PolyStone® Columns reflect the style and detail that the Romans
 implemented during the Roman Renaissance period.  Adaptations of the Greek's
Doric column include:  the integration of the base / plinth – instead of a stylobate, and
the adjustment of a more slender contour of the column shaft (entasis).  Widely accepted
 is the notion that the Roman Doric column epitomizes masculinity and strength.  Below, you
 will notice the column dimensions, as well as the load-bearing capacities, wall thicknesses,
 and maximum supports for our Roman Doric fiberglass composite PolyStone® columns.
