主权项

1. A system for extending a vertical structural member supporting a structure, the system comprising:
a sleeve having at least two parts, the sleeve adapted to be affixed to an outer periphery of the vertical structural member such that the sleeve encloses a top portion of the vertical structural member and extends past the top portion in a direction along a length of the vertical structure member, wherein the portion of the sleeve extending past the top portion of the vertical structure member defines a fillable interior space above the top portion of the vertical structure member, and wherein the at least two parts of the sleeve are further adapted to receive a sleeve spacer to accommodate variation in a perimeter of the vertical structure member; a cap coupled to an open end of the sleeve, the cap enclosing the fillable interior space above the top portion of the vertical structure member, and the cap comprising a vertical wall defining a receptacle; and a structure attachment device comprising vertical clamp portions adapted to receive the structure, wherein a bottom portion of the structure attachment device is seated in the receptacle of the cap.
