Ornamental Decorative Post Caps

Post caps serve two functions: they protect the hollow top of a tube post from moisture entry, which prevents internal rusting, and they provide a finished, decorative appearance to the top of a fence or railing post. Cap styles range from simple flat or pyramid tops to ball caps and ornate cast iron designs.

Caps designed for tube posts typically press-fit over the post top and can be secured with epoxy or a small tack weld. Solid post caps for round or square bar posts are generally welded in place. For outdoor applications, welding or epoxy sealing is recommended to prevent moisture from working under the cap and causing corrosion.
