Product Care and Installation

Post Caps

Manufacturer and wholesale supplier of fine outdoor cedar and redwood deck / fence post caps, finials, pergolas, arbors, decorative fences, decorative gates and accessories.

Product Care:

Post Cap Installation All of our products are produced from the finest grade of Redwood or Western Red Cedar and sold “natural”.

Our wood products may be treated with a clear sealer to preserve the natural wood color while protecting them against the elements. The red cedar and redwood can be painted or stained as well.

A marine grade adhesive can be used to fasten wooden caps to the fence posts.

Slip Over Post Caps

Materials:

All of our slip over post caps are available in clear, vertical grain, kiln dried, Redwood and Clear Western Red Cedar.  These wood types are best known for their durability in harsh environments, and their beauty.

Construction:

Slip over fence caps are crafted using a 5 piece construction with V-nails in each corner of the molding.  12 or more stainless steel staples are used to permanently fasten the molding to the underside of the wooden post cap.

Installation :

For a nail-free look, simply apply an exterior marine adhesive like 3M 5200 to the top of the post  and slip the post cap over.  Stainless steel nails may be used as an alternative, but not necessary.

Non-Slip Over Post Caps

Materials:

Clear, all heart, vertical grain, kiln dried, Redwood and clear Western Red Cedar.

Construction:

Non-slip over wooden outdoor post caps are crafted utilizing one piece construction.

Installation:

With our post caps, there is no costly on-site assembly! Simply apply an exterior marine adhesive, such as 3M 5200 to the top of the post. Pre-drill the cap and affix with stainless steel nails. Your NPC Post Cap is now secure.

Finial Care and Installation

Preparation:

All wood post cap finials are constructed of laminated clear, Redwood and Western Red Cedar. They should be sealed BEFORE installation with an oil base primer, paint, stain, or preservative to ensure long life.

Installation:Solar Post Cap Light

Finials are pre-drilled and are shipped with lag screws for easy installation after sealing. The screws should be inserted FIRST into the base of the wood finial using a pair of pliers around the smooth section (not the threads). Then thread the finial with mounted lag screw into the wood post. Pre-drilling the top is optional and may aid in the installation. Exterior caulking material can be applied to the base to ensure a tight fit if desired.

ALL FINIALS MUST HAVE A PROPER SEALER AND/OR PAINT APPLIED TO PREVENT CRACKING.
 
What's the difference between a post cap and a finial?
  The post cap is literally a cap or hat that sits on top of a fence or gate post. Finials are decorative ornaments that sit on top of post caps.  
Copper Top Post Cap
When shopping for post caps you will see that only some will accept a finial due to the cap design
 

Why use Red Cedar?
  Naturally resistant to rot and avoided by moths, its durability in wet and harsh climates is unmatched...
