4x4 Post Cap (3.5") Brown Pyramid Style Square Top for Outdoor Fences, Mailboxes & Decks, by Atlanta Post Caps…

Hubby is mounting a water hose reel, using 4x4's instead of the side of the house. We bought these post caps to put on the tops of the posts (they have been stained). The instructions are clear; this is so simple, why, even i could do it! lol This has been a great company to do business with as well. We consider this money well spent and we are thrilled that an ordinary 4x4 can have a nice finishing touch.

I thought I was getting Trex but we will see how product is affected by weather

I have real concerns these will last very long. After install, two small screws into thing plastics, I snapped the tops on, only to discover they are still loose. Does not inspire confidence. Will report back after the snow load hits them.

These are great. They seem well made enough that they will last. They have a 10 year warranty, but beside that, if one breaks from getting hit, etc., it's only 7 bucks, two screws and 2 minutes to change them. The design is really very good... there are two holes on flanges that allow you fasten the base to the top of your post. You could just nail them in, but I used two short screws which I think hold better and will make it easier if I ever need to change one. The base fits nice and snug over the 3.5"x3.5" post but is designed so there is a 1/16" wide gap all around between the post and the base piece. Another reviewer said he thought spiders might live there, but the real reason its this way is so air can circulate under the cap and keep the top of your posts dry and rot free. Then the top cap snaps firmly over the base and you're done. I just replaced 9 rotted wood caps with these and was done in about a half-hour including getting the ladder out of the garage and removing the old caps. These are on top of 7 foot high posts, so they are above eye level and look indistinguishable from the rotted wood caps I replaced. I was lucky in that the brown color matches the stain of my fence almost exactly. All in all, a really good product. Well designed, easy to install, looks really good and looks like it will last.

We ordered both the 6" and 4" post caps and are thrilled. They are durable, fit our lumber perfectly, give a consistent look to our project and were easy to install. We replaced wood caps and even after only 5 years, here in the south, they were rotten. That's a problem we're happy to be rid of. These are nice looking, too, and just happen to completely match the post stain.

This was for a project for a mailbox post. I just wanted to add a little something and protect the wood 4x4 on the top. It fit perfectly, was super easy to put on and looks great! It was delivered quickly, too. I recommend this company product with 5 stars!

When I seen these advertised on internet, I didn't hesitate to purchase them. And I'm very glad, they are awesome. They only take a few minutes to install. Just a few steps to complete. And they make the appearance of the deck post's look like a million bucks !

our review is s tossup between 4 and 5 stars. VERY easy to install if you have a drill. went on without any hassles. The lack of a 5th star is simply due to the fact that up close they look like rather cheap plastic, but farther away they look great. I can't answer about durability , we have had them for about a month. I do recommend then for the ease of use and for being a simple solution to replacing wooden caps that had fallen apart.
