Remove a rotted porch or patio column, build a new box column and install a new post. The porch post replacements are holding up good so far.
The original old post was a box made of old growth wood. I'm not sure what kind of wood was used around 1952. The posts don't get exposed to a lot of water. I filled the end grains of the wood with some wax so the wood couldn't suck up water. A few coats of polyurethane could be substituted for the wax. The old post sat on concrete. I made bases to put under the bottom of the posts to keep them away from the concrete.
