6x6 Post Cap (5.5") Cedar Most Common Size Pressure Treated New England Pyramid Square Top for Fences, Decks, Railings and Mailboxes, by Atlanta Post Caps

As long as you know the size of your post and order the correct size then you will get exactly what you need. Fantastic design. Easy to install. I wish every product for every need was this easy. Oh, and it’s priced perfectly.

These post caps install in 2 minutes on bare post tops. The top cover snaps on with a positive click and feel. It's pretty apparent if they aren't all the way engaged. The mounting base has plenty of room to slip over the post top. I would advise checking for squareness on post. That's easy to do by looking at the spacing all the way around. Four screws attach the base to the post and the top snaps down. These a made from molded plastic (ABS I think) and are sturdy. They came well packed and include the screws. The only down side of this product is limited color. The maker suggests spray painting. I don't know how they would look if you brush painted them. I used an electric paint gun and used exterior latex. They look great. Good product, priced right, easy to install. Limited color. I would recommend them highly.

These fit perfectly onto my 4x4 post and look great.

I bought 8 of these post covers to fit actual 8”x8” cedar posts on the deck of a cabin that were beginning to wear on top due to weather. They are very easy to install. However if your post is beveled at the top on each side like mine you may have difficulty installing 2 of the screws because the tabs the screws go in on the attachment plate are shorter on 2 sides. Because of the angle, I could use only 2 screws in the longer tabs. This makes the tops not as stable as they could be. The option was to cut the posts flat with a chainsaw or install some firring strips to the top of the post if you require all 4 screws. They are a thick plastic and don’t flop around but if you put pressure on them ( lean on them, etc) they will flex and make some noise on the installation plate. However, they look great installed and will protect the tops of the post from rain and snow and prolong their life. Overall a quick solution to protect and enhance post tops but could be better with some design changes. I also had some missing screw packages (each topper comes with a pack of 4 wood screws) but since I could only use 2 screws each had plenty. Overall a good product that fits actual 8”x8” posts (not 7-1/2” x 7-1/2”) which aren’t easy to find.

Quick and easy to install. Base of the cap come with two screws to fasten. Then just snap the cap on. Done in minutes

Bought these after years of rotting wooden caps.They are well designed. Comes with high quality stainless screws. -Took 10 minutes to install all 4.One of the best purchases I’ve made!My concern is that they made fade with exposure to UV light- will update, if needed.

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.

The website leads the reader to understand that the post cap fits the dimensions of the dressed lumber size of the post (e.g. if the post is an 8" x 8" inch it would fit 7.5" x 7.5"). My post size is 7.375" x 7.25". When I received the post cap the inside measurement is 8.0" x 8.0" inches. There are two triangular .25" inch lugs on each side (facing the post) that act to automatically center the cap on a 7.5" x 7.5" inch post. It is unknown why a .25" inch gap is required. Perhaps it is required to dispelI condensate. However, I see it as a place insects (wasps, hornets, etc.). I tried to communicate with Atlantic Post Caps, but received no response. So I purchased .375" inch thick foam weather stripping to place on the inside of the caps and placed them on the posts. This automatically centered the cap on the posts , prevents insect access while allowing potential condensate to drain through the porous foam. I fastened the caps with the provided stainless steel deck screws provided and placed the top of the cap on the bottom part as shown in their installation video. I think it is a great product, but don't know how resistant it is to UV radiation from sun light. It feels very sturdy and it's white color perfectly matches my PVC porch railings.
