Real Porch Column Prices
The three factors that have the biggest impact on porch column prices are the size of the column, the style of the carving, and the type of wood. Explore the most popular styles of posts that show the price range of each column for the time of writing in Spring 2022:
For those looking for the lowest porch column prices, this is your best option. Our budget porch posts are made of solid hardwood and are the perfect height and strength to elevate your porch roof. The no-frills style is just a standard rectangular shape, but the exterior can be painted or stained any color you like.
A very popular choice for renovating a front porch, posts of this size and price point deliver a variety of options. All of these posts feature decorative turning, such as beading, tapering, or chamfering. These visual accents help to give your space a truly distinct character. These are a great choice when updating porch columns to have more ornate qualities.
These posts are identical to the standard options above – however, they are crafted out of gorgeous mahogany. While all of our hardwood is durable and beautiful, mahogany is highly desirable for its one-of-a-kind look. Mahogany also is very naturally resistant to rot, making it a great choice for exterior spaces. That is why we often recommend homeowners choose mahogany for porch projects!
While our standard porch posts are certainly wide enough to support almost all porch ceilings, some homeowners want a wider look. Choosing 5 inches for the diameter of your posts delivers extra width plus extra strength. However, this more than doubles the porch column price compared to a traditional option.
Our column-style porch posts have a rounded profile and all-around regal presence to them. These columns are wider yet are often built to the 8-foot height. The cost of porch columns like these is often higher than the square post style. This traditional column will be straight, not tapered, and won’t have carving or turning on the face of the column.
Our roped columns have an elegant carving running down the face of the column that creates the appearance of coiled rope. This delicate carving adds a unique feel to the entire space and will certainly prove to be an eye-catching feature. This style is particularly popular when crafting an elegant historical look.
One of the most elaborate columns we craft, this design stands out due to the deep fluting running the length of the column. In addition, this style features a taper, which means the column is more narrow at the top and widens at the bottom. All of these detailed touches mean that this has one of highest porch column prices. One of our most extravagant designs, these columns are sure to be a conversation piece of your new porch.
