I am going to rebuild the hand railing at the place I attend services. I need some advice though. There are 2 old posts holding the covered porch up. I want to cover them somehow. They are about 18 feet long and 25 or so, I haven’t measured yet. I want it to look good, not just butt joints. Any suggestions?
