How To Properly Install Porch Post Columns
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ต.ค. 2022
- In this video, I will go through the steps on properly installing porch post columns. This method can be used for new installation or replacement of existing post and/or columns. I will be using Simpson Strong Tie Post Base and Red Head 5/8" x 4-1/4 anchor bolts. A hammer drill and 5/8 concrete bit will be required to drill into the concrete. If mounting on wood, the post base is not required.
As always, thanks for watching!

I love that you showed all the tools you were using instead of assuming everyone would know. Extremely helpful video!
Right for us newbies who’s trying to learn
I was beating my brain on how to use that post base. Well, your tutorial was great! Thanks
Welcome back Ron. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Really cool 😎
You are the man, just the video i was looking for. Going to attempt 7 replacement posts and your video is really helpful. Very thorough and excited to get started. Thanks Ron!
You did a nice Job Ron! Simple video not trying to make it too fancy or overly complex.
I’m installing columns on a rental I was brainstorming about the top support I’m glad I found your video it’s fairly simple I need a jack & a laser great video.
I like the way to walk the viewer through each of the steps.
Ron, I appreciate what you did here - demystifying the process. Even I I don't DIY it - I at least understand the degree of difficulty here.
Glad you're Back... Brother Ron, Always on Point...Detailed...❤
TFW!
10:05 most satisfying thing I've seen all day. Nicely done, sir.
Great job. Good tool and material display was useful. Just 3 suggestions: if you want it to look flush at the top, use a Kreg jig and wood fillers to fill the gaps that the toe screws left. You can seal the cut ends of the post with either oil based paint or even silicone caulking to resist/minimize rot. Also, blow out the hole in the post base anchor so there's nothing in the way of the anchor bolt to grab properly. Other than that, this should all work fine for a DIYer
Thanks for the tips!
I had to take a double take at the thumbnail to make sure that this was a recent video. Good to see Your back making videos!
Fantastic job on installing the porch columns. I like how your work is always precise to perfection. 👏🏾

Good job! Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for watching!
Great job. It helps me 🤙🏻
The 6x6 columns look great and are symmetrical to the porch structure. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Hi Ron, You have mad skills, I bought a Roybi Airstrike brad nailer, so excited about a tool. By the way Roy JR is touching the ceiling so I am going to have to give him a hair cut. I hope I don't hurt him. lol 💪Abort. 😂😂
Just the video I was looking for, I have to replace 4 post. this issue with the trim at the top being 4x4 and the post being 6x6 is exactly what I was running into.
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!!
Thank you!
You’re back!
Yep!
The column end cuts should have been field treated with preservative after being cut. Pressure treatment does to fully penetrate the column.
Ron you are gifted I think you could do really good on mink rehab maybe show how to fixed those holes and how to do countertop and backsplash I think if you could do those three things you would have good content you did a great job
Thanks for the suggestion on content. I’ll be over there soon enough.
Thank you
Thanks! 👍
Ron, you’re very skilled & Thank U, for that Toe Screw Method, because the Lord knows that I’ve skimped 💃on the Kreg Jig & have Spitt some Wood in my day! 😂… but, I still got the Job DONE! 🤗😘🙌 Tell my Sis., that I said Hellou! God Bless!
🤣🤣🤣 Yep, it’s the little things. Sharon says Hey!
HEY RON!! GREAT WORK BY A GREAT MAN WHO HAS A GREAT WOMAN BY HIS SIDE. LOVE Y'ALL AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS INFO RON!🤗🤗🤗💕💕💕💪💪💪💯💐
Thanks for watching!
If you nail it to the top and anchor it to the bottom, what will happen when that distance dramatically flexes due to expanding / shrinking clay?
Nice
Bruh Ron!! Nice Job!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!
???? Susta here would like to know what type paint to get for bathroom cabinets and how do you take the center broad off in front of the sink?
Valspar cabinet and furniture paint but be sure to prime first. Used Valspar bonding paint for the primer.
Center is sometimes clipped on, stapled or glued. Watch the video on the tip out tray to see how I removed mines.
Awesome job done 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💛💛💛💫👋🏽💎🦋🇬🇧
How much weight does the bottle jack have to be rated for if you're doing posts for a covered patio? A 4-ton is like $30 but a 50-ton one is like $900!
Hi what are the posts made of?
Thxxxx🎉
Awesome content! Quick question I was hoping to put up a post as a light support. How sturdy would that base be if it didn't have the support on top? It would only be a 4x4, probably 8 foot high.
Thanks!
With the post brackets and some beefy screws, a 6x6 or 4x4 sits pretty sturdy.
Where did you buy the posts, Ron?
I think you could make good content on Minks rehab.
Thanks for the nudge. 💪🏾
It’s like watching Luther Vandross put up a structure. Never too much ..
Hi Ron I think you could a house from ground up. Thanks sharing.
Thanks for the compliment!
Great Job💪💪💪 Can i hire you❤
Can I just cut a 4x4 on a slant and jam it in under the porch for support then install the new one. I don't have a jack to use. Will it work this way??
Maybe…However, you can get a bottle neck jack from Harbor Freight for little of nothing. Use the jack so you don’t hurt yourself or damage the header.
Looking to do something similar. Where can I buy a hollow wood post? Also, did you end up wrapping the post, top and bottom with anything?
Post came from Builders First Source and wrapped the bottom with 1x8 and top with 1x4.
If you are replacing posts but it's settled and sank over the past 40 years. Am I fine to raise back to level? My carport has sank roughly 3 inches and it's time to replace the posts. Thank you.
Yes, it’s ok to jack it back up. Just take your time.
What about applying some type of adhesive to the top of that post instead of having those toe screws showing?
Typically you cap over the bracket and screws like I showed at the end of the video but whatever works and is long lasting!
Where did you purchase those column post?
Builders First Source
They are called Cox Columns and other vendors supply them and even some big box stores.
How are you sealing the concrete? If water gets in that whole you drilled it will freeze in winter and crack the brand new porch. Asking because I am in the same boat!
Installed hundreds of these and haven’t ran into that issue…
@@rontalley thanks, that’s Good to know! I’m just gonna throw in some epoxy for peace of mind.
Hey where did you get the mount?
Builder’s First Source but you can find them at the big box stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot.
@@rontalley thank you brother! I’ll be changing mine and mounting this weekend
How much can you charge for this type of job ? I have client who is needing replacement. Labor only
$175 per post. $225-$250 if they are skirting.
😊👍🏽
Thanks for watching!
Use the hammer function on the drill. Much faster
I’m pretty certain that I was using the hammer function. It’s just not an SDS so it’s slower.
