Q1: What is apex fence capping, and why is it used?
A: Apex fence capping is a peaked fence topper designed to sit along the top edge of a fence panel, protecting it from water damage. The apex shape allows rain to run off, helping to prevent moisture buildup and prolonging the fence’s lifespan.

Q2: What are the benefits of using apex-shaped fence capping?
A: The apex shape directs rain away from the panel edges, reducing the risk of rot and weather damage. This fence topper not only enhances the fence’s durability but also adds a polished, finished look to the fence line.

Q3: How do I install apex fence capping on my fence panels?
A: Apex fence capping is typically secured with screws or nails along the top of each fence panel. Measure and cut the capping to fit each panel width, then attach it firmly to prevent movement or lifting in high winds.

Q4: Is apex fence capping compatible with all fence types?
A: Yes, apex fence capping is generally compatible with most wooden fence panels, including overlap, featheredge, and closeboard fencing. It’s commonly used on traditional garden fences and can be stained or painted to match.

Q5: Does apex fence capping require maintenance?
A: Minimal maintenance is required. To keep it in good condition, occasionally treat the capping with a wood preservative, especially if it’s exposed to harsh weather. This helps maintain the wood’s water resistance and overall durability.
