![]() I would have never of thought, I myself would ever choose a golden oak stain for a project! After trying and trying and trying, I finally found the stain that worked best! Surprisingly, Minwax Golden Oak was it. Well, during that project, the amount of stains I tried to get color I was looking for was unbelievable. As I mentioned earlier, I used our fence picket from a previous project with the same stain color. If you decided to buy the Fence Picket – The Western Red Cedar – you’ll notice the wood has a red hue to it. – tip – If you decided to use a fence picket, you’ll want to cut off the end with the dog ear edge. Since I used a 3′ pipe, I ended up cutting down the wood backing to 46.75”. I added 4.75” on both the left and right sides (measured from the middle of the pipe/flange). Your wood backing should be a little bit longer than your pipe length. ![]() The rough textured look was just what I was looking for!

If you do want the dark pipe look, I used Rust-Oleum Oil Rubbed Bronze Metallic Spray Paint. This spray paint is pretty much what I use on all our projects – LOL. If you decided to go with the galvanized metal look, than you can skip this step □ Just gotta be careful and do your best when spray painting. ![]() I didn’t worry too much about this, since its facing the wall, you won’t be able to see it. The only part that will be tough to spray then, is the backside of the main pipe. To make things easier while spray painting, assemble all the pieces together first.
