DIY Cedar Shutters
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- DIY cedar shutters built to accentuate our new house paint. I made them from inexpensive fence pickets and turned out perfect! Cedar is a great choice for outdoor projects because they are naturally rot and insect resistant. In this video I show you why I chose cedar fence pickets to save on cost and how I built them to last.

Thanks for this video. I’m doing shutters and posts and taking a lot of tips from you.
So glad it was helpful! Thank you!
You've done a beautiful job on your shutters. I'm looking for inspiration and I do believe that I've grabbed some great take-aways from you! So Thank You! #1 - I'm definitely going to grab the cedar fence boards! #2 - I LOVE the hinges idea! Hopefully Home Depot sells those 🤞🙏😉 #3 - I didn't think about using stain!! 🤯😍😃 I'm going to be painting mine black but Im going to test transparent black stain along with my deck transparent stain color, Tugboat. Thanks for sharing your ideas! 💯👍
I'm glad this was helpful! Black or Black stain sounds amazing!
Awesome video this is exactly what I was looking for! Making cedar shutters out of fence pickets. Thanks so much now I can get busy!!
Sweet! Glad it helped!
My house is identical to yours except white shutters. I think the cedar is great, going to copy this
Copy away! Hope they turn out great!
Fantastic video, your wife is lucky to have you, to do such an awesome job on those shutters!! They look wonderful, and the fact they swing is incredible too!
Thank you so much!
Nice work. Just to let you know I'm copying this on to my house. AWESOME 🎉
Thank you! Glad you liked it and hope it turns out just as well for you!
Looks great Dino! 👊🏻
Thanks buddy!! 👍
Gorgeous work
Thank you!
Great color choices, great work.
Thank you so much!
Awesome job
Thank you! Cheers!
yup nailed it, perfect New England style, now just hang the Betsy Ross 13 colony flag and call it a day!
That's a great idea! Thanks!
Nice work ! Thank you !
Thank you!
Can you add the hinge kit into the description block above?
Sorry, I reused the same hinge kit from the old shutters. They were in great shape so I decided to reuse instead of replacing them.
Great video
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video just love the way they look and that they open and close..have you closed them on bad weather and how do they did they work out
Thank you! They do open and close, but they are meant to just be decorative, so I have never closed them.
Where did you get the hardware?
I use the same hardware from the old shutters.
Is ur siding wood or vinyl?
It’s Hardie cement board.
Would pressure treated pine fencing work?
It could, but it would be heavy. The Cedar is naturally bug and rot resistant and it incredibly light weight.
@TheSharkShed thanks. I finally was able to find cedar this afternoon. The employee said don't stain all sides so the cedar can breathe. Ever heard of that?
@@southern842 I have not heard that. I will say I stained both sides and have had no issues.
@@TheSharkShed thank you
What color is your house and shed?
The color is Sherwin Williams Midnight Blue. Thank you for watching!
1/8th of an inch 5 times ?
Yeah, I guess it would have been less than 1/8 of an inch. Probably 1/32 to maybe 1/16. Good catch. We ended up at about 1/4 inch boards. It's been almost 2 years and they have held up very well!
They look really good . Someone quoted my mother-in-law $1600 for 3 sets of windows like this, but I talked her into doing this instead
@@robertfultz7423 I'm glad this helped make a less expensive decision for her.
What color is the house. I really like it~!
The color is Sherwin Williams Midnight Blue. Thanks you!
Awesome project! Thanks for sharing.
What was the spacing between the vertical shutter boards? Were the (3) horizontal battens on the front of the shutter screwed in from the back?
I used a 1/4" for the spacing and I attached everything from the back to keep the fasteners hidden.
And sorry for the delayed response. I typically try to answer questions in the comments much quicker than this. Appreciate you reaching out!!
@@TheSharkShed , that's hilarious. I was watching with my wife and said "Well, I like it all except that I don't like that you can see the screws; I would have done them all from the back." Only later did I realize that you had them folded in (closed direction) in that shot. :-) I felt kind of silly! It is sad, though, that the hinge straps can't be seen most of the time, as they add a lot to the look.
@@nevillenewman2785 I agree! I think the hinge straps on the front would have given it a lot of character.
Whats color siding and trim you used?
The Trim is a regular white trim. I believe the house color is Sherwin Williams Midnight Blue.
