   >I've used Fypon columns successfully, although you might want to consider whether the location is subject to being dented and dinged by passersby (they are, after all, polyurethane foam). Check out http://www.fypon.com

   Can't vouch for them because I haven't used their products, but have you tried Outwater Plastics? Sorry, right now I don't have their catalog or contact information in front of me.

   *Been quite happy with b marbeleine(polyester resin, rock dust, and fiberglass mix)columns--exterior and interior. Paintable, load bearing, and inexpensive. (Usually 125 USD for a 8" x 9' from our lumberyard.

   What is the best material for white exterior columns (Tuscan style for balcony over front entrance), for maintaining white hue and avoiding much in the way of maintenance, while being structurally sound?
