hi

I am trying to install a few 2x4" chengai wood vertically and in a row to make a feature separation
between the dinning and the living area. the wood will be about 9' between the floor and a beam at
the ceiling. i am trying to avoid having a horizontal wood as the base and at the top (this makes the
installation easy), but more as if the wood comes straight out of the tiled floor and touching the beam,
ie. some hidden bracket at the base and at the top  brows.gif

anyone can suggest the proper accessories to use, besides making a hole in the floor to plant the wood  hmm.gif

It is going to be difficult to try to hold up the 9' high solid chengai wood vertically without any horizontal members at the base, top or making holes in the floor. Bear in mind that the solid chengai is very heavy and you don't want any getting hurt if it falls smile.gif
You may try having something like these to secure them in position.

Alternatively, you could have the built-up columns instead of solid chengai. This way, the fastening into the floor and beam will be conceal.

Is it a must for you to use chengai wood for the interior?
