Wooden Post with Concrete Base

This Revit family provides a vertical wooden post finished with a cylindrical concrete base for structural or decorative detailing. This vertical structural component features a simple, square-profile timber post mounted onto a cylindrical concrete foundation or shoe. The design is straightforward, emphasizing a raw, functional aesthetic suitable for rustic or traditional architectural contexts. The timber post is rendered in a natural brown tone, while the base is a neutral grey concrete, providing a clear material contrast. The proportions are slender, making it ideal for porch supports, pergola uprights, or interior decorative columns where a grounded, heavy base appearance is required to anchor the vertical element to the floor surface.

The download is a 369 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

As a standard Revit family, this component is placed directly into the model via the component tool or by loading it into the project environment. Users can adjust the height parameters to align with specific floor-to-ceiling or floor-to-beam dimensions. Materials for the wood and concrete can be modified in the type properties to match project-specific finishes or rendering requirements. It is a lightweight, non-hosted asset that sits on the floor level, allowing for easy placement in both plan and 3D views.

This post is well-suited for residential projects, particularly for exterior landscaping, deck construction, or semi-enclosed porch areas. It serves as a practical asset for architects and designers looking to detail timber framing or add structural elements to outdoor living spaces. When searching for this type of component, professionals often look for timber posts, structural columns, or pergola uprights. It pairs effectively with decking materials, stone paving, or rustic timber cladding, helping to ground vertical supports in both exterior and interior design schemes.
