NEW Cedar Post Wrapping video here: • How to Wrap Posts in C...
If you're looking to improve the curb appeal on your house, then you've come to the right video because this will show you how to wrap two cedar posts for less than $100.
This was by far the biggest improvement to the front of the house and it really makes this stand out from the rest of the houses in the neighborhood, just by adding cedar wood.
It's really as easy as cutting the wood planks to the same height as the posts you currently have, then applying those boards to 2 sides. Then cut a 4x4 piece of wood into 4 even pieces of 1" thick to apply to the other 2 sides of the posts. Now when you go to nail in the other cedar boards, they'll rest flush with the other boards.
Easy!
Make a matching mailbox to go with it: • Building a Cedar Mailb...
You can use any cedar wood sealer you'd like, they come in many different colors.
Thank you for watching another Kelly Concepts video!

Well done, just fyi for others looking to do the same. If there’s any chance of water splashing on the bottom. Leave your columns off the ground an inch or two, then use the wrapped trim pieces to go to the ground. If they start to weather, you can just replace the trim.

I am having this done to three front posts next week. I am going to stain them before the carpenter puts them up though. I applied stain first 15 yrs ago, when I had five posts rewrapped in cedar, on my back cedar 20x20 patio. I put two coats on, and it lasted a long time ... so worth doing it before cut and hang. Also, he mentioned he's going to put some kind of metal at the bottom of wood, at the cement,... on the bottom of the post, to prevent rotting. I can find out and edit my post on exactly what that's called.... once it's done. Cedar is gorgeous on a home today. Thanks for the stimulus $ Biden😉 $2800 goes a long way on home fixes.

The posts look great! Wonderful idea! I love the new video cuts you are using. More and more professional each time! Question about the outer post. It appeared as if the cedar protruded beyond a bit. Did you happen to use anything to prevent water from landing on the top of the boards and dripping inside? When are you purchasing a second rental home? Cant wait to see what you do with that one?

The posts protrude towards the inside of the porch and the roof hangs over a bit so I'm not too worried 🤞. We just got a 2nd one - video coming tomorrow on the tour! It's a full blown fixer this time with a garage conversion into a 2nd unit (hopefully). Thanks for watching as always!

Wow... I am really impressed with your posts project... I would have done all three posts myself though. Also I was hoping to know what you used to finish them, but you didn't show that. I just ordered four cedar posts to be cut for my front entrance. I didn't think about covered posts so mine will be 12 inch x 12 inch solid posts in red cedar... I was looking at your video for ideas on how to seal mine against the weather here on Vancouver Island where we get a lot of rain.

Hi. Watched this video 3 times now. You make it look so simple. Wife and I went to Lowes last night and got the lumber and a nailer. I got 18ga brad nails 2" long. Is that length ok? Was sure what nail you used. Nailer I have only goes up to 2" nails. Thank you.

@KellyConcepts 3 жыл бұрын

Hi there! 2" will be plenty long enough and is what I used. I did end up hammering in 2 extra larger galvanized nails in each board. like 6D or 8D nails. 1 toward the top and 1 towards the bottom (not too close to the edge or you'll split the wood). Might be overkill but weatherproof nails will help this last much longer.

I’d have to buy a 6x6” cedar post which cost more than these 4 boards and are hard to find. You could probably buy a pressure treated 6x6 and replace your posts but would have to wait a few weeks before you can stain them a cedar color.

We did this but with pine - we made the mistake of not letting the wood dry before constructing. After a few days the wood warped a little. We got some wood filler and stained it to make the wood post but the filler is darker. So you see the dark lines where the wood boards connect Vs looking like a solid wood pillar. Any suggestions on how to fix?
