A massive upgrade from the original posts casing video that did so well. I've followed a lot of your advice and made quite a few changes that'll drastically improve your cedar posts project.
This is an EASY way to add curb appeal and although the wood is twice as much as it was 4yrs ago when I originally did it, it's still worth it in my opinion.
Updates:
1) Miter the edges to make a nice corner
2) Raise the cedar off the ground by 1/4 inch
3) Clear wood sealer
5) And so much more!

Looks good! I have one post in front of my house that the wife wants me to wrap. A quick tip if you do this again. If you take a screw driver and run it down your mitered edges, it'll close up the gaps and make it look seamless.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw him plane the corners. Any round hard object will work but most everyone is gonna have a screwdriver around if they are doing this project.

Thank you for the clarity on sealers. Digging the clear you used on the posts. Looking good

@KellyConcepts Жыл бұрын

Thanks! This is my new favorite and Thompson's sealer is more affordable than one's I've used in the past too.

I just removed the shutters on my house that looked like the ones on this house and replaced with cedar shutters made from cedar planks… I’m about to do my posts this way! Thank you!

I require compensation for my house being featured in the background of your video. I'll accept payment in your famous homemade salsa.

@Psy6o Ай бұрын

The video is not for profit so good luck with the salsa he builds ok I'm not sure of the cooking lol

Great video. Is there something, a screw, anything to anchor the post to the top part? I need to replace 4 posts. Thanks

They really look great. Where are you getting your cedar from?

@tonywerner9493 Жыл бұрын

did you do both side of the board at a 45 degree cut? for the post casing

@gregorygrant3836 Жыл бұрын

Those are 4x4 post your wrapping around, correct? What are the cedar boards your wrapping it around with 1x8? Any ripping or just mitering the 1x's?

@archjerry3249 Жыл бұрын

Great video! Exactly what I need for my porch columns. I have a quick question about the wood I should purchase. I know that you used cedar boards and just coated the exterior side of them. Is the cedar best to use for the exterior project? And just coating with some wood sealer like you did is enough to protect from rain? I live in NW where it rains all the time so I am very cautious about getting the wood rot.

@KellyConcepts Жыл бұрын

Thank you! Cedar is the best exterior wood for it's price and is commonly used for outside projects and construction. Some homes are completely sided with cedar shakes. 1-2 coats of the wood sealer is all you'll need but may need to be re-coated every 5 years or so. It's also bug resistant in case you get termites in your area.

Que bien, tengo unos postes 6x6 que necesito revestir

@kevincombs4069 11 ай бұрын

What size and kind of cedar did you use?

@dustinreeves2701 Жыл бұрын

Are the boards 1x6 or 1x8?

@carrieameigh1807 Жыл бұрын

Have you had any issues with these separating at the seams or twisting? My builder wrapped my posts but with pine and they are now all separating at the seams and shifting. The now have to all be replaced but I'm not sure if it's a building issue or because it's pine that was used or what, any advice?

@garrettp.5018 11 ай бұрын

It’s because it was pine.

What size boards you use?

@brianhildebrand6272 Жыл бұрын

So when you nailed the wrap to the post you do not have to worry about filling that gap between the post and the wrap? Or was it flush to the post on each side?

@dublingunner2018 Жыл бұрын

Wondered the same thing. Doing this at our house and some of the treated 4x4’s aren’t 100% straight. I’m planning to clear silicone the joints at the top and bottom.

What size are these boards by chance?

@ChrisLambrou00 25 күн бұрын

I have a metal pole I'd like to cover like this... Any tips?

@cweb1210 Жыл бұрын

Really stupid question but the first saw and 2nd saw to cut the angles. Are those the the same tool? If so what is the name of that saw? Can you link it?

@KellyConcepts Жыл бұрын

There's no stupid questions! The first saw is a Miter Saw and it's how I cut shorter spans (shorter lengths of boards). The second saw is a Table Saw and it's how I rip long boards (cut along the long side of the board to make it less wide or create 45 degree angles like I do here). I've done this project in the past without a table saw. Any brands will work fine for DIY projects but I use Dewalt. Dewalt Table Saw: amzn.to/3mIYg26 Dewalt Miter Saw: amzn.to/3ZMYDrc

How would you secure the boards to a metal Pole

@Notsar_Egnarts Жыл бұрын

Good stuff. Can't say this without sounding like a tool but if you weren't wearing hearing protection you should definitely reconsider. My grandpa is deaf as shit from doing stuff like this his whole life and not wearing any.

Where did you buy the cedar board?

@KellyConcepts Жыл бұрын

Just from Home Depot. It was cheaper there than Lowe's.

@Maagma007 9 ай бұрын

Just an opinion here. Forgo the cedar and save $$ and paint the posts with an exterior grade white paint. Will match the house trim better. Otherwise good video on box framing the posts.

@coolhluke8089 4 ай бұрын

What could I expect to pay to get that done?
