Common questions about the New England Style Mahogany One-Piece Wood Cap

What size post does this cap fit?

It is made for standard fence posts, with size options listed on this page. Measure the outside dimension of your post — not the nominal lumber size — and match it to the option that fits over it.

How do I attach it?

A bead of exterior-grade construction adhesive inside the cap is the usual method. Seat it fully so it sheds water instead of trapping it.

Will the mahogany keep its color outside?

Left bare, it will weather toward silver-gray like any exterior hardwood. A coat of exterior oil or sealer, renewed as needed, keeps the warm color.

Why choose a one-piece cap over a built-up one?

Built-up caps rely on glue joints, and outdoor swings in moisture and temperature eventually test them. One-piece milling removes that failure point.

Is shipping worth it on a small item like this?

Under $500, shipping is a $75 flat rate, so caps make the most sense added to a panel, post, or rail order. Over $500 the whole order ships free anywhere in the country.
