Thanks for the input silyavski.
I've changed the column to 250x250x9 hollow section for added strength. This will give me a LOT more volume for the epoxy sand formula to be poured into.
I still intend on keeping the bracing on either side of the column as I feel that it might help with the construction (and I also see all the VMC columns have flanged bases).
As for the bed, your suggestion is good. It will also allow me to put more of the epoxy sand mix in.
I've also added a way for my counterweight to go across the column. See the following pic:
