The column bases were severely degraded; we built new bases out of Fir. I had some leftover PVC wainscoting from another job, which I attached to the bottom of the new base. This will allow the column to drain off the deck, and for water that hits the deck to slide out under the column. Below is the detail that you'll see from the yard. Win-win: we didn't dispose of a petroleum based product but repurposed it, and the column bases and the wood under them won't rot.
