Porch Makeover

March 5, 2022

Once we painted the exterior brick on our house it was time to tackle the porch. It was typical 1960s porch with metal columns and concrete steps. I kept all of that and used that as the structure for the renovation.

I used 1x4s and concrete anchors to first cover the concrete, this is what I’ll be using to attached our treated boards to. Once I had all the 1×4 supports down I started at the door and worked my way down securing the treated 1×6 boards. For the vertical wrap areas I used 2×8 and secured them directly to the concrete with anchors.

After the porch was done I moved on to the columns. I left the existing black metal columns and and wrapped them using 1×12 rough sawn pine. I used wood glue and finishing nails to wrap the columns and then trimmed the top and bottom with 1×4 rough sawn pine. Once I finally picked a stain color I stained the columns (and trim around the brick) and sealed it with Thompson’s WaterSeal. For the porch I used a deck stain in an off-white.
