Waterproofing deck column trim??
Hey guys,
Is there any good way to waterproof boxed out deck posts? Every picture I've seen, its done on a waterproof deck.
Imagine wrapping a post like this, but under a deck:
I haven't decided if I'm going flush beam or cantilever on my deck framing, but I do know I want to trim the posts out shaker style. I've done this on many porches, but this is under a deck in Tacoma. 6x6 post to 4x beam.
Is there any way to waterproof it? Make flashing? Or do you just paint all 6 sides and caulk it all for max longevity?

On a deck, you have to plan for that before framing. You put a big square of EPDM down wherever a post will go so that it can drape over the sides of the trim.
In your case, a custom copper flashing might look best.

¿¿¿How would that work with connectors? You use a simpson post to beam bracket and it would be trapped. If you notched the post to beam and lag bolted, it wouldn't work either.
I could just wrap the post top with EPDM, put the bracket on, and trim the whole deal out in PVC?

Easiest way is to use a vinyl, or fiberglass column.
Just an example.
