Hi
Just wondering if anyone else has had trouble with James Hardie decorative columns used in a pergola? We've got 5 columns.........3 of which are perfect but 2 that are badly crumbling and flaking and hence have no paint left on large sections of them. I don't know if they are rotting or what is going on with them
It's really strange that 3 are perfect but 2 seem to be faulty. I spoke to somebody at a hardware store and he thought maybe it was the paint we'd used..........but why wouldn't they all be like that then. I really think the 2 columns are faulty. If you touch the sections where the paint has come away the column literally is now like powder and falls off so easily.
Would be interested to know if anyone has come across this before and if so how to fix it as they are really spoiling the look of our nice outdoor area.
Cheers
