Exterior Trim and porch

By michaelc3178, member

There are 18 columns on this porch that I built out of cedar 1×8.  Each column was framed up with 2x4s and then wrapped with cedar. The arches where built 22″ wide, with uniform spacing between the columns.

    Looks great!! I love the design. Would enjoy seeing closeups of the larger columns.
