Description
Description
Fence Post Cap – Zinc gives timber fence posts a clean, weather-shedding finish while protecting vulnerable end-grain from rain and UV. The heavy-duty pressed steel cap sits flush on the post top to help reduce splitting and water ingress, and the zinc plating provides reliable outdoor corrosion resistance with a bright, professional look.
Key Features & Benefits
- Weather Protection: Shields exposed end-grain to limit water ingress and sun damage.
- Corrosion Resistant: Zinc-plated steel for durable protection in outdoor conditions.
- Smart Appearance: Tidy, uniform finish that completes fence lines and gate posts.
- Easy to Fit: Quick installation on new or existing posts with standard fixings.
- Paintable: Can be over-painted to colour-match (key the surface first).
Available Sizes
| To Suit Post Size (mm) | To Suit Post Size (inch) |
|---|---|
| 50 × 50 | 2 × 2 |
| 75 × 75 | 3 × 3 |
| 100 × 100 | 4 × 4 |
Product & Technical Details
- Type: Fence post cap (square)
- Material: Pressed carbon steel
- Finish: Zinc-plated (paintable with suitable prep)
- Installation: Position on post top and secure with appropriate exterior-grade fixings/adhesive if desired
- Applications: New builds and refurbishments; fencing, gates, pergolas, trellis posts
Instructions for Use
- Ensure the post top is sound, level and free of debris. Treat any fresh cut end-grain with a suitable preservative.
- Position the cap centrally on the post top. Align edges with post faces.
- Fix in place where required using stainless/galvanised exterior screws through pre-drilled pilot holes, or a compatible exterior adhesive. Do not overtighten.
- If over-painting, lightly key the surface and follow the paint manufacturer’s guidance.
Limitations & Precautions
- Fit only to sound, stable posts. Replace severely split or decayed timber before capping.
- Use corrosion-resistant fixings suitable for external use.
- When painting, abrade lightly and ensure coatings are compatible with zinc-plated finishes.
A simple, durable upgrade that protects post tops and completes your fence line with a crisp, bright zinc finish—built to look good and last outdoors.
