How To Properly Install Porch Post Columns

Рет қаралды 87,383

Жыл бұрын

In this video, I will go through the steps on properly installing porch post columns. This method can be used for new installation or replacement of existing post and/or columns. I will be using Simpson Strong Tie Post Base and Red Head 5/8" x 4-1/4 anchor bolts. A hammer drill and 5/8 concrete bit will be required to drill into the concrete. If mounting on wood, the post base is not required.
As always, thanks for watching!

I was beating my brain on how to use that post base. Well, your tutorial was great! Thanks

@chepito2k10 7 күн бұрын

Great job. Good tool and material display was useful. Just 3 suggestions: if you want it to look flush at the top, use a Kreg jig and wood fillers to fill the gaps that the toe screws left. You can seal the cut ends of the post with either oil based paint or even silicone caulking to resist/minimize rot. Also, blow out the hole in the post base anchor so there's nothing in the way of the anchor bolt to grab properly. Other than that, this should all work fine for a DIYer

The column end cuts should have been field treated with preservative after being cut. Pressure treatment does to fully penetrate the column.

Valspar cabinet and furniture paint but be sure to prime first. Used Valspar bonding paint for the primer. Center is sometimes clipped on, stapled or glued. Watch the video on the tip out tray to see how I removed mines.

With the post brackets and some beefy screws, a 6x6 or 4x4 sits pretty sturdy.

If you nail it to the top and anchor it to the bottom, what will happen when that distance dramatically flexes due to expanding / shrinking clay?

Looking to do something similar. Where can I buy a hollow wood post? Also, did you end up wrapping the post, top and bottom with anything?

Post came from Builders First Source and wrapped the bottom with 1x8 and top with 1x4.

How much weight does the bottle jack have to be rated for if you're doing posts for a covered patio? A 4-ton is like $30 but a 50-ton one is like $900!

@robremlap4071 8 ай бұрын

Can I just cut a 4x4 on a slant and jam it in under the porch for support then install the new one. I don't have a jack to use. Will it work this way??

@rontalley 8 ай бұрын

Maybe…However, you can get a bottle neck jack from Harbor Freight for little of nothing. Use the jack so you don’t hurt yourself or damage the header.

Typically you cap over the bracket and screws like I showed at the end of the video but whatever works and is long lasting!
