How to Wrap Posts with Wood Trim | Decorative Trim for Base of Pergolas and Wood Posts |

I wrapped the base of these pergola posts with wood trim and am pretty excited at how they came out. It’s been 4 years since I built the pergola and am JUST now getting to it as I’ve been re-staining and protecting it.

I used 1x8” pieces for the bottom, and 1x2” for the top. Pressure treated lumber of course. We’ll let that sit for about 30 days before attempting to match the color. Wish me luck.

You will need some power tools to get the best results, but overall I can’t wait to show you the finished product after I’m done staining!
