Performance & Installation
By covering the top surface of the post, the cap reduces direct water absorption into the timber’s end grain — one of the primary causes of post rot. This simple addition can significantly extend the service life of fence and gate posts.
For installation, secure using exterior-grade galvanised nails or screws. Ensure the post top is level and free from debris before fitting to achieve a flush and stable finish.
