I have used vinyl post covers for 6x6 posts.They were a two piece model with a cap for the top and bottom. Very easy to install and looked great.Can't remember the maker.

If the posts are in bad shape shouldn't you just replace them with a quality vinyl or aluminum post.

I would not want to wrap a post that is already rotting.
