    In today’s video I’m showing you how I gave our front porch a much needed cleaning and refresh. I sanded and refinished the wood porch cover, painted the bricks and sealed them, made a planter box and made a matching gate to close off the top section of our porch for the dogs to hang out. It was a simple transformation and I’ll show you all about it in todays video.
    I hope you enjoyed this video and found some useful information. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this video and I'd love to see your porch makeover, be sure to tag me when you do @Wood_Brain on Instagram.

    Turned out great! Don't forget to seal the gate and top rails!

    I love how it came out!!!
    When I first saw the bricks in the sneak peek, I thought they were like a rose quartz? They look so good! And that final whitewash really tied them together :)
    That planter really draws your eye up, and having the plants off the floor will stop the porch from feeling cluttered or leaves getting caught. Looks great :)
    Can't wait to see what you do next!

    I need to build a gate for my top stairs. I don't have a pocket hole jig, but this was still inspiring. And my deck needs tons of work, plus a cool wood tableset my father-in-law built that needs sanding and sealing. So many things your project is inspiring me on! Thank you.

    This looks amazing! Such great ideas! Just a couple of questions, why didn’t you seal the gate and planter? Was the wood presealed? And does the planter needs some holes in the bottom for the water to drain away? Just found your channel through Rachel’s and I can’t stop watching your videos 😆 so good! Glad you’re doing this full time now so you can make more stuff! X

    • @wood_brain
      @wood_brain  2 года назад +2

      Oh thank you so much friend I sealed the wood to protect it from the weather and elements the planter box that I put inside of the wood box I built has a built in tray for draining so that it’s never sitting in water also that’s why I went with a snake plant so that I don’t need to water it as much hope that helps answer some of your questions thanks again for watching and commenting … have a rad day friend
