This is a low cost project and an easy DIY. Total for the wood was about $50 dollars and it was well worth it! We are definitely not professionals, but hope you can learn a few things from our video.

    the only thing Id suggest is leaving 1 inch at the base and putting stone, brick, or concrete at the base (to prevent rot). I also would leave that room for seasonal wood expansion so it doesnt expand and break your carport.
    If you have a router, you can also pre build the boxes 3 sides and use 45 degree a lock mitre bit and tite bond 3 glue. You want exterior grade nails or deck screws as fasteners also or you might get rust streaks over time.

    Here's an idea... at the end, show the final product, next to a picture of the metal pole. In my opinion, that gives a better feeling for how much better it looks and how much it was worth the effort and money. Thanks for all you do!

    Awesome job. I am guessing the support pole is 3.5 inches in diameter. Why did you use a 1x5 plank as a 1x4 is a more exact fit for a 3.5 inch support pole. Fits more snug and is an exact fit when using with the 2x6 .Thanks.

    Did you use treated wood, or will exterior stain yield the same result?

      No, we ended up painting them because the wrap wouldn't line up with the bricks below it.

    Can you tell me if after 3 years you are happy with the way the color has weathered?

  • @terdsie
    @terdsie Před 3 lety +4

    Amateur tip:
    When using a hammer to position a piece of wood, use a bit of scrap as a buffer between the head of the hammer and your finished piece. That will distribute the impact and prevent imprinting the texture of the head into the wood.
    The less sanding and finishing, the better, imo.

    • @nandologia
      @nandologia Před 3 lety +1

      @@larryburks592That's actually a whitewood, probably poplar. It's sold at the big box store as studs. Pine tends to be yellower and heavier (Southern Yellow Pine at least). Cedar has a reddish tint and it's usually sold at the big box store with raised grain. Besides, it would be many times the price that she mentioned.
