Question About Wrapping building Columns

[ozpall]

Hello,
just wanted to get some opinions on best way to wrap Building Columns, these particular Columns have metal corner protectors (see Image). would it be easier to wrap as 1 piece or 4 separate pieces with overlap?
thanks for any input.

I do them as one thing and wrap around the pole.

even with the metal corner protectors?

overlap is best for longevity, i'd be wrapping each "face" with a 1/2" wraparound to the sides, and then cap the sides slightly trimmed-in from the corner.

if those metal guards are staying on during the wrap then just wrap over them and trim to their edges and tuck around.
