Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 11, 2010 5:14 pm I'll post a photo of the front of our place. As you see the gutters, fascia are white (surfmist) and inside of gable will be painted white. My colour query is should I paint the verandah posts white or leave as cream (gutters are cream colourbond anyway)? Anyone with good colour sense I'd love to hear from you! We are going to have limestone or sandstone pavers on the verandahs. Thanks for any suggestions.

If so then I'd be tempted to go surfmist for your verandah posts. Alternatively, for contrast, the same colour as your roof?

We were originally going to have bush poles but our builder pursuaded us not to because he said they all too often warp/twist! I'm leaning towards white at the moment. Thanks anyway for your comment.

But are they Cypress pine? Do the poles have lots of grain etc? Hi, I'll be starting on my verandah repair soon - replace ledger, rafters, roofing iron, flashing etc. (fascia board already done).
