RealPost™
RealPost™ is a uniquely designed structural porch post that is revolutionizing the building industry and drastically reducing your exterior posts costs. RealPost™ is manufactured from an appearance grade, Western Canadian SPF, the very same fiber we use to create our RealTrim™. A simple top-coat is all you need to finish the job; saving you time and money. The old fashioned way of wrapping a utility post on all four sides is no longer required thanks to RealPost™.
RealPost™is Structurally Certified in both Canada (CCMC #13314-R) and the US (ESR #2844 ). Manufactured from premium selected fiber, RealPost™is finger-jointed, edge-laminated, pressed, and then moulded to its final appearance grade. The finished product is warranted against warping, twisting, and joint separation. Simply put: No Callbacks!
RealPost™ is now approved for use in the state of Florida the code # FL12663. You can find the approval information here, www.floridabuildingcodeonline.com .
