Great job. Thank you for this. This helps so much. I love all your video’s.

[@mrsashleyfrench]

Thank you! I'm glad they are helpful :)

[@NathanBailey-hg3qf]

Love it!! Thank you!

[@dnewt3551]

Beautiful look thank you for sharing! I’ve been looking for away to change the look of my beige concrete column to a wood column. This way is easier and cost efficient.

How did the column back panel go in? I saw originally you had to slide it out of the bottom to remove it. How were you able to get it back in after you had it on the structural post?

[@mrsashleyfrench]

It just popped into place. We didn't have to slide it in. We just lined up that last side up where it needed to go and used our fist to tap it in place. It has a little lip and popped right into place.

Hello, I have the same wraps and recently installed 5 of them on my porch. My question is do you have to pain and stain or can you just stain?

[@mrsashleyfrench]

I am sure you could try just staining them. I just worried that the white would show through the stain and maybe not look natural. That is why I painted mine first.

[@sarafazilat1624]

Hi, are those window shutters also cedar wood or did you paint and stain them as well to give a wooden look?

[@mrsashleyfrench]

The window shutters are real cedar wood and I used a regular wood stain on them.

[@kiriciano]

Where did you purchase these wraps?

[@mrsashleyfrench]

They were sold on Home Depot's website. The brand is Ekena Millwork and they have them on their website too.

[@southern842]

Hmm. Didn't know you could stain over paint.

[@mrsashleyfrench]

Just make sure it’s gel stain 😊

[@southern842]

@@mrsashleyfrench how does it hold o long-term?

[@mrsashleyfrench]

it’s been two years and we haven’t experienced any fading or issues with them.
