Cedar Shutters Diy

Cedar shutters are a great way to add character and style to your home. They are also relatively easy to make yourself, with just a few basic tools and materials.

To make cedar shutters, you will need:

• Cedar lumber
• Miter saw
• Drill
• Screwdriver
• Wood glue
• Sandpaper
• Paint or stain (optional)

First, measure the windows you want to install the shutters on. This will determine the size of the shutters you need to cut.

Next, use your miter saw to cut the cedar lumber to size. Be sure to cut the pieces slightly longer than the actual measurements of your windows, as you will need to trim them to fit later.

Once the pieces are cut to size, assemble the shutters using wood glue and screws. Be sure to pre-drill the holes for the screws to avoid splitting the wood.

Once the shutters are assembled, sand them smooth. Then, paint or stain them to your desired color (optional).

Finally, install the shutters on your windows using shutter hardware. Be sure to follow the instructions that come with the hardware.

With a little bit of time and effort, you can easily make your own cedar shutters. They are a great way to add curb appeal to your home and save money on your energy bills.
