We’ve got a covered porch with a concrete floor and the posts are going to be wrapped in aluminum. THe porch is not poured yet but the siders are starting monday. What’s the best order for putting in the final posts?
Temp post until after concrete and call siders back again or pour around final posts and trim or….etc.??
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Jeff... wood and concrete are never a very good combination.POUR THEN POST. Just curous...don't the 'siders' have to come back to install the siding on your porch after it's poured anyway?
*Ditto on Jerry's post not a good idea. Pour first. The wrap dents easy , rather than have to clean it , protect it and worry about the wood rotting, just have them come back. You could use steel posts,pour and then box and wrap, but you might as well have them come back.
