Toothpick legs on a structure like this?! Get real! This thing deserves some stately columns!
What happens here
Once the first trim board is perfectly positioned and aligned, use a nail gun to securely fasten it to the structural pillar. Begin by placing a few nails near the top of the board to hold it firmly in place. Then, continue to add more fasteners down the length of the board, spacing them evenly (e.g., every 12-16 inches) to ensure strong adhesion and to prevent any future warping or bowing of the material.
Goal: Fasten the first trim board to the pillar structure
