Lally or lolly Columns

Categories: Renovation

I own a 3 family 1890 frame house. The wooden columns in the basement some touch the supporting beam and some of them don’t. I think we have 3-4. I wanted to install new lolly or lally columns for proper support. Can I just place a new metal column next to the old wooden posts? Do I need to enclose them in concrete? Any other issues that I need to be concerned about?
