Q2: How are fence post caps and finials installed?

Q3: What type of wood is used for fence post caps and finials?
A: Our Fence post caps and finials are made from tanalised (pressure-treated timber). These woods are naturally resistant to decay and can be painted or stained to match or complement the fence, adding both protection and a polished look.

Q4: Do fence post caps prevent posts from rotting?
A: Yes, post caps help prevent rot by covering the exposed end of the post, which is susceptible to water absorption and decay. By deflecting rainwater away, they protect the post’s structural integrity and extend its lifespan.

Q5: Are finials necessary, or are they purely decorative?
A: Finials are mostly decorative, adding a finished and polished look to fence posts. However, they can also enhance the protective function of post caps by deflecting rain further away from the post top. They’re a stylish way to personalize and add value to a fence.
