ABSTRACT:
A system for covering or cladding poles and columns. A pair of vertically-oriented frame members are attached to a supporting bracket mechanism on the column or pole. Semi-circular panel members are positioned around the pole or column and secured at their edges to the frame members. Top cap members are provided adjacent canopy or ceiling structures to allow for thermal expansion and contraction. The panel and cap members are shipped and packaged in flat condition and bent into their final semi-circular shapes at the installation site. Retainer clip members are attached to the edges of the panel members in order to hold them securely in place in the frame members. In alternate embodiments, trim cap members can be provided to cover the frame members, and a universal supporting bracket system can be utilized to attach the cladding system to various poles or columns.
