Why You Should Use a Post Cap
Why You Should Use a Post Cap
Post caps add a much-needed cover for the most vulnerable spot on your wood posts. Without a cap, your wood posts are exposed to water, bugs, ice... which can destroy your post from the top, down. As a result of using a post topper, your post will stay looking better for longer. Not to mention, fences are EXPENSIVE. Using a post cap will prolong the life of your fence which will save you a lot of money in the future!

Our 4x4 fence post cap is made to fit nominal sized posts (3.5" x 3.5"). Common fence posts are nominal sized but we always recommend double checking before ordering. If your post is a true 4x4, please view our True 4x4 Post Cap collection.

4x6 Post Caps
Our 4x6 post cap is made to fit a nominal 4"x6" post (3.5"x5.5"). Unfortunately, we do not offer a true 4x6 post cap due to its odd size.
Post Toppers
Our fence post toppers are made to bolt onto the top of any type of wood post. Although they don't add as much protection as our fence post caps, they still keep some water and bugs out while adding a very decorative metal touch to your posts! Instillation is easy for these. All you need to do is place them on your post and secure them with our color matching screws.
Our metal post caps are made to fit tight so your fence post, mailbox post... will stay looking new for longer. As a result of this, some trimming of the post may be necessary. Installation Instructions are included in each package and is also on our website.

Cleaning: Although our caps are made with slick, water repelling paint, they still get dust and dirt on them over time. The best way to clean all the dust and dirt off your caps is with a water hose or a wet rag.
**It is very important that you avoid chipping the paint and exposing the metal underneath the paint. This will cause rusting on your post cap.
General Care/Maintenance: If you find any large scratched or chips that expose metal, you need to seal/paint that area asap. You can get your post cap paint matched at most paint stores. We recommend using an Exterior Oil-based paint.
