Round Fence Post Caps
Round fence post caps are a great way to protect wooden fencing posts from weather damage. Without a cap, rainwater can seep into the exposed end grain of the post, swelling and cracking it over time. This can cause rotting and weaken the structural integrity of your fence, which is why a post cap is such a worthwhile investment.
Another benefit of fence post caps is that they protect the wood from insect infestation. Termites and carpenter ants are attracted to the open ends of timber fence posts, where they can chew through the wood. A capped post is a less tempting perch for birds and squirrels, who can otherwise damage your fence and garden with scratching and messing around.
Fence post caps can also help to prevent splintering, which is dangerous for pets and children. Dry, rough wood can splinter and cause injury, but a capped post will reduce the likelihood of this occurring.
Wovar offers round pole caps that are galvanised for maximum durability and strength. These are easy to install and give your round wooden posts a sleek finish. They can be fixed with screws or nails, but we recommend securing the caps with a bit of universal adhesive sealant. The caps are 1 mm larger than the post diameter to ensure an excellent fit and easy installation. In addition to round pole caps, you can also find pyramid and ball top post caps in our total range of post accessories. This means you can easily equip your fence with all the finishing touches for a beautiful, well-maintained garden or home.
