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.

I'd probably do 2 piece

Depends on your wrapper. If I was sending an installer I would build it as one complete panel, then tile it in my rip into 4 even panels with a 1.5 inch overlap. It'll make for an easier install. Then again I'm not the installer, I'm sending someone to install and want to give him all the chance for success. Just my 2.

Also depends on what the art looks like. Most columns like this are not perfectly square, so the more places in the art that have to align the more issues might arise.

seems like this is the safer way to do it.

thank you all.
