Our post caps come in a variety of sizes so please check your post size before ordering.
4x4 nominal Post caps for 3-1/2" posts - These are the most common size pressure treated deck post that are sold in lumberyards and are commonly called 4x4 post.
True 4x4 post caps (actual 4" size) - Some hardwood post and even some pressure treated post measure anywhere between 3-5/8" and 4". In these situations, you should order a true 4x4 post cap. These also, typically fit 4" metal posts with rounded corners
True 5x5 post cap - These actually measure 5" underneath and are commonly used for plastic post or post sleeves or undersized wood posts - Note: that we have rounded edges on our post caps so, if the plastic post has really square edges these probably will not work.
6x6 nominal post cap for 5-1/2" posts - 5-1/2" posts are the common size pressure treated deck posts that are sold in lumberyards and are commonly called 6x6 post even though they are actually 5-1/2"

Please not that our post caps are true to size so if the post is a little over, they may need to dry or be sanded down somewhat for the post cap to fit properly. Our post caps are made to fit tight to help bind the post from splitting unlike others that do not. We believe post caps should serve a purpose to help preserve your post not just for decoration. If you want to understand this more, please see our post cap installation video for more details under the "installation" tab on our website.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
Our post caps are powder coated in a large variety of colors for long outdoor life in a high-quality powder coat with UV inhibitors to resist fading in the sun and are typically fine for most locations. If you live in coastal areas that have a "salty" environment, or these will be in high traffic areas, we suggest adding the zinc option.
What is the zinc option? - our zinc option is an additional process where we put a thick zinc powder coat base layer primer before we put the final coat on. This will ensure your post caps last an extremely long time under bad conditions. But this expense isn't necessary for most locations which is why we offer it as an add on.
Our post caps are made to fit tight and have rounded corners so as to limit sharp edges so this should be taken into account when ordering.
We pre-drill holes on two sides and provide matching powder coated screws for a very finished touch.
Our post caps are made from tough thick gauge steel and are much more robust and heavy duty than most other post caps you will find so you know when you order ours you are making an investment not just ordering a cheap cap that will do.
We make each post cap to order, with your particular finial, and the size you request in the finish you request. - This is a lot of variation to offer, which is why we do not offer returns or exchanges on most products as they are in fact customized to your order. So, please check your measurements and ask questions if needed.
Our pictures offer an accurate depiction of the size as well as the size of the finial is listed on each listing. If you are buying several different finial types, make sure you understand the sizes as we do not coordinate the sizes of the finial with the others. Example - if you purchase a duck and a blue herring and a raven post cap, they will be different scales. Please take this into consideration. We can make custom sized finials if requested, but it will be a custom order, and additional fees will apply.
Material Information
Our post caps are made from American made heavy duty steel and the finial is made of heavy cast iron. We then powder coat each post cap with an extremely durable powder coat finish in a variety of color options.

This was a birthday present from myself in the UK to my son out there in the Seattle region. The present package was only opened yesterday and his message back to me read:-
"Love it.... it's brilliant and many thanks".
He will get the sign mounted ASAP and so the whole process will have been a total success and so I send you my thanks too.
Best regards

I have to say, I did not read the listing entirely. I did not see it took a couple weeks. I asked them, and they explained nicely. I was a bit frustrated as I thought how long to plasma cut a piece of metal. Let me tell you, when I received it, now I understand. Gorgeous piece, very high quality. Thank you very much I love it!
I installed a 14 foot custom gate that I had someone build. I added a mighty mule opener system with 5x5 .250 wall boxed tube and added the madison iron domed caps with self tapping screws to install the caps to the posts. Thank you guys!
We have lots of wild turkeys in our area so that was an obvious choice. We love them. The workmanship and quality are great, and the order was filled quickly. You were recommended by a friend and we thank her and you so much.
We love it! It's super cute, and very well made. The only problem is I sometimes see it out of the corner of my eye and think there's a kitty watching me!
We ordered custom hangers to fit two different sizes of beams because we couldn’t find ready-made hangers in the sizes we needed. These were well-priced, arrived relatively quickly and are well-made. They look beautiful in our remodeled ceiling. We would definitely recommend Madison to anyone with similar needs. Thank you!
Very nice post caps! I used a large file to take a little wood off the edges/corners so the caps tapped on snugly with a rubber mallet & screwed them on. They really give the stairs a classy finished look!
We bought a sign for my husband's business workshop (to the right of the door in the photo) and five fencepost toppers and all of them are beautiful! The quality is great and they were as described on the site. If we can find more places to put their ironworks, we will be buying more! Really beautiful!
This is the second time I ordered from your company. Last time was tee shaped brackets. Love your products. Very high quality.
Not sure if you received the pictures I took but worked out well.
I had to improvise a little. My posts turned out to be 5 3/4". I cut a piece of 3/4" cedar to fit in the bottom of the caps. Screwed it to the top of the posts and then the caps over.
When I received them and went to install them it was an Oh S#$% moment.
Thought about ordering the six inch but there would of been a gap. Didn't think it would look good.
Wish I had more use for your products.
I'll work on it.
Thank you for a great American Company!!
