Fence Post Caps (Copper & Stainless Steel)
Protect Wooden Posts from Rot, Cracking, and Water Damage
Wood fence posts fail from the top down. The exposed end grain at the top of every post pulls in water, leading to internal rot, splitting, and early replacement. Our metal fence post caps solve that problem by sealing the most vulnerable part of your fence with a durable, long-lasting barrier.
Choose from copper fence post caps and stainless steel fence post caps, available in common sizes including 4x4, 6x6, and 8x8. Each cap is designed to shed water away from the post and protect it for years. Our copper caps are made from thick 21-gauge copper, roughly twice the weight of typical hardware store options, while our stainless caps use 304 stainless steel that will not rust.
Whether you're building a new fence or extending the life of an existing one, these caps add both protection and a finished look. Designed for treated and untreated lumber, and built for long-term outdoor exposure.

- Adds a clean, finished appearance
Do fence post caps prevent rot?
Yes. They block water from entering exposed wood grain.
What size cap do I need?
Be sure to measure your post because size names don't always match the true size of the wooden post.
For example, a 4x4 post could be between 3 1/2 inches and 4 inches.
A 3 1/2" post requires a "nominal 4x4" fence post cap, but
a 4" post requires a "full 4x4" fence post cap.
Are metal caps better than wooden caps?
Yes. Metal caps last much longer and won’t absorb water.
