covering a basement post
I'm looking for available options for covering an existing basement post in a recently finished basement.

docmartin,
Regading your poles, I have attached a link for flexible veneering products. These are available at Home Depot or a good lumber yard.

Hope this helps!

If you have access to a tablesaw, you can get some 1x6 boards, mitre the edges, and create a box around the pole. Paint to your preference, or even put drywall up over it.
The only real advantage this has is you could put a power outlet and low voltage wiring on the pole then, which may be convienent. It's a lot more work though.

my friend and I did something cool this weekend with mine. We got a 4*8 sheet of plywood. Ripped it as small as possible. Screwed and glued to the post ( box shape ). Then we drywalled it. For the corners we used plastic round over drywall edging. It looks beautiful!
