About Our Poetry Posts
At Poetry Posts we build, finish and install your very own Poetry Post - you can begin entertaining your neighbors and passer-bys with wit and wisdom or just random deep thoughts in a very short time.
Design & Construction Process
The first step is to decide what kind of look you would like to achieve, whether you want fancy with a lot of bells and whistles to draw attention to your post or if you want something a bit more simple, but nice looking, to emphasize the words you are sharing with the world.
Right from the start I will lead you through the available design options, exploring what suits your fancy and your pocketbook. As these posts are custom designed, I will work with your creative ideas to showcase your poetry and personality.
Material Selection
Posts
What type of post would you like to have? The 4x4x8 posts are made from quality materials from start to finish out of Western Red Cedar, hand selected and chosen for their appearance and resistance to rot, moisture and insect decay. Cedar is a popular choice, weathering to a beautiful coastal grey that will last for decades.
Finishes include adding a decorative top made from either cedar or a combination of copper and cedar, depending on your tastes.
The cedar posts can also be treated with a waterproofing to help them last even longer. The Poetry Posts are designed and built to last for years.
Viewing Boxes
The next choice is the type of display box you would like to have. Most people select the handmade box from high grade Western Red Cedar with a window made from impact resistant acrylic. It is large enough to fit a standard 8” x 11.5” sheet of paper and waterproofed to protect your poem from the elements. Larger sizes are available upon request.
Additional options include a custom copper lid, painted box or post, standard window glass - whatever you prefer. Long lasting brass hinges and weather resistant glue and screws are used to keep it from deteriorating over time.
Installation
The post is set in concrete to give the post stability and strength that will last for years.
Price and Warranty
All materials and labor to build and install the Poetry Post are included in the price, along with a limited lifetime guarantee.
We want you to be happy with your post, if you ever have any problems with the materials or workmanship, we will be happy to make repairs to your satisfaction.
