In Louisiana, your porch isn’t just a place to sit—it’s part of your home’s identity. But between the intense sun, year-round humidity, and sudden summer storms, your porch columns take a beating. That’s why it pays to choose columns that are built to last in the South.
At Wholesale Siding Supply, we’ve spent over 40 years helping contractors and homeowners across southern Louisiana choose columns that combine beauty with real performance. If you’re upgrading your porch or starting from scratch, here’s what to know about choosing the right columns for Southern conditions.
Some columns look good at first, then crack, swell, or peel after just one season. Our exterior porch columns are made from tough, weather-resistant materials that are built for our climate:
We carry a variety of column styles—both decorative and structural—that work with nearly any home design. Whether you want classic fluted columns, square craftsman columns, or smooth round options, our team will help you find the right fit.
And since we also carry siding, shutters, and trim, we’ll help you pull it all together with a look that feels intentional—not pieced together.
Porch columns aren’t just for looks. In many homes, they’re structural supports that carry the load of your roof. Our column options include both decorative wraps and load-bearing solutions, so you can get the look you want without compromising strength.
Need help deciding what’s right? Our team has decades of experience and is here to guide you every step of the way.
If you’re in Baton Rouge, New Orleans, or anywhere across southern Louisiana, we’re ready to help you upgrade your porch with columns made for the South.
