7 Tips to Install Outdoor Column Wraps

1. 7 Tips to Install Outdoor Column Wraps Wrapping columns to create outdoor spaces is the best way to add extra space. Column wraps give you a covered porch or a nice shady and wind-free place to eat al fresco. Plus, it adds lots of additional areas for entertaining. And you should entertain on your patio more often! Wrapping columns for an outdoor room or lanai is like building an extension. You want it to fit. Make Sure You Have The Proper Tools And Materials It is the most crucial step in the whole process. You need to ensure that you have everything you need—and that your tools are in good working order—before installing yourcolumn wraps. This way, you won't waste precious time trying to get things done with a tool that doesn't work or trying to find the right materials on short notice.

2. Of course, if something goes wrong with one of your tools or materials during installation, there's nothing wrong with taking a break so you can fix it and get back to working on your project! Just keep track of where in this guide you left off so that when you come back later, it'll be easy to pick up where you left off without having to reread everything from the beginning again. Plan Your Design Around the Columns You can't just install column wraps on any old column—you have to plan your design around the columns. It is vital to work with a concrete or steel structure with an existing paint job, but it's good practice even if your columns are wood or other materials. Consider where exactly you want to place each wrap. For example, if you're working with a concrete or steel structure, you'll want to avoid putting wraps close together in areas where there aren't many people watching or passing by—this can cause paint chipping and cracking as people walk by. You also don't want to put them too far apart because they'll look too sparse and not add much visual interest or impact. Next up: What color should each wrap be? There are some general guidelines here: • Darker colors tend to go better with darker columns • Lighter colors tend to go better with lighter ones • Black goes well with dark browns and reds • White goes well with light browns and blues • Green goes well with yellowish-greens Etc. Measure Exact Column Lengths Take the time to measure the exact length of each Column, including any overlap needed for the wrap to stay secure. If you are working with a professional, you will likely be able to tell you how much overlap is required for a specific product. If installing the Column wraps yourself, measure carefully and double-check your measurements for accuracy. You'll want to ensure no gaps between columns where water or debris could get trapped inside—this will cause damage over time and may even lead to mold growth if left untreated! When wrapping columns, you must leave enough space around each Column so it doesn't become too tight or constricting on itself while still providing optimal support for your garden space. When measuring this area out, keep in mind that there will also need to be room around each Column so that they don't feel too heavy when being lifted into place on top of one another during installation time. Paint Column Wraps Before Installing Whether you're using a column wrap to hide an old, rusted, unpainted pipe or to add some pop to your outdoor space, it's essential to paint your column wraps before you install

3. them. It will ensure they blend in seamlessly with the rest of your home's exterior and make them more durable. To Paint your Column Wraps: 1. Clean the surface of the pipe with rubbing alcohol and let it dry completely before painting. 2. Use latex-based exterior paint (the kind you'd use on a house) in color similar to your home's exterior color scheme. 3. Apply one coat of primer or sealer to the column wrap before applying two coats of paint (or as many as needed for coverage). Anchoring Into Place Your Column Wraps You'll first want to find a way to secure the bottom of your Column Wraps to a surface that won't move around. We recommend using either duct tape or wire ties. If you are using wire ties, be sure they are sturdy enough to hold the weight of your column wrap. Then, secure the top of your column wrap to an anchor point with more wire ties or duct tape. Once you've secured both ends of your column wraps, use some good old-fashioned elbow grease (or perhaps an electric screwdriver) and screw them into place! Trim Your Column Wraps to Level After you install your column wraps, you may find they need to be level with the rest of your walls (or other columns). It can cause a problem when trying to caulk around the Column wraps—if they are not level, the caulk will not be able to cover them up entirely. It is best to cut off any excess material before caulking so it doesn't get in the way of the caulk application process. Caulk Where Necessary Caulking is essential in ensuring that your column wraps stay put and don't start peeling off after a few months. The type of caulk you use will depend on what kind of material you used for youraluminium composite panel: if it's wood or metal, then you should use an exterior-grade silicone sealant; if it's plastic or vinyl, then use an acrylic latex caulk; if it's concrete or stucco (or any other porous material), then use an acrylic latex spackling compound instead!
