DIY Electric Fireplace Surround With Mantle (Walk-through)

[@czoubek]

I've been a general contractor / wood worker / DIYer for 20 plus years. The Wainscoting Layout Calculator has changed my life forever! The math / layout is always the worst part of the project for me. THANK YOU!!!

[@thebuildsociety]

Great to hear!

[@davidoliver9395]

I like what you did.... Something different than the shiplap

[@thebuildsociety]

Thanks!

[@myblackice3]

You did a really great job. I'm looking at doing my family room similar to this.

[@thebuildsociety]

You can do it!

[@victorgoitia4350]

That was a great video. Very helpful and informative. It definitely gave me the confidence to try it at home.

[@thebuildsociety]

You can do it!

[@cnel4524]

Very helpful video. Can you give a link to your laser level? Thanks

[@thebuildsociety]

[@candygirl76-u7e]

Love this video! What did you use for the trim?

[@sharongrages3417]

What was the final depth on the side of the build? I’m considering side cabinets.

[@kekearah1]

I really like this. I would stop at the ply wood stage and frame it. The battens are optional right? Thanks though, I’ve been trying to figure out how to spice up my rental! U laid everything out so perfectly.

[@thebuildsociety]

Absolutely!

[@RobinStanfield]

We are in the process of building ours but not sure how we make sure the edges are seamless where the plywood meets. Any suggestions?

[@msjoy2005]

Add corner trim pieces or do 45 degrees

[@naturallybae]

Can you come to Columbus Ohio and do some for me . Is it possible

[@Laprimaveraa]

I am looking to do something similar. But was wondering is it possible to create something similar without ever poking any holes on the walls? Maybe a longer extrusion from the wall and a wider base on the floor?

[@thebuildsociety]

Possibly, but if you want it to reach the ceiling I would attach it to the wall. They sell TV stands with built in fireplaces on Amazon. Would be cheaper than building one yourself.

Thanks!

[@bertusswinkels1978]

Super cool, I want to build almost the same cinewall do u know the dimensions of the wall? And what fire brand do you use. Greetings from holland 🇳🇱

[@thebuildsociety]

The fireplace wall is 7 feet wide, 8 feet tall. I have a dimension breakdown in the description. For more information on the fireplace insert you can watch my video on KZbin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5u4iJaJbrB0frc. Thanks for watching!

[@tmise50]

Nice job but shouldn’t you prime before painting?

[@thebuildsociety]

It was a paint and primer in one, worked well for me.

[@GolfSpy_KFT]

What is the height of your mantle from the floor? Great job!

[@thebuildsociety]

Thanks! 44.5 inches to the top of the mantle from the floor.

[@GolfSpy_KFT]

@@thebuildsociety Thanks for the response! Just built an entertainment wall in my basement and trying to decide whether or not a mantle will fit well, but it would be right around that same height so that is reassuring!

[@codyw492]

what size tv do you have hanging there ? thanks in advance

[@thebuildsociety]

65 inch

[@831today8]

How much did it cost you in total for materials for this build. Love it!!

[@thebuildsociety]

$750 give or take a few $

[@dave1june]

Not sure it’s safe to just just plug that in, I don’t think that’s safe?

[@monicaledesma4084]

I know I can do this. I just need all the tools 😒

[@thebuildsociety]

Start off with a circular saw and you can build almost anything!

[@98QUEENVEE]

Want to do this in my rental so bad 🥲

[@thebuildsociety]

Thanks for watching!
