Add a professional-grade finish to business perimeters and security fencing.
Pools and patios
Meet code and protect post integrity in high-moisture areas.

Fitting the cap
Installation
Installing this aluminum cap is quick and hassle-free. Simply align the cap with the top of your 2″ square aluminum post and press down until it fits snugly. For most projects, no tools are needed. If you want a permanent hold — especially in high-wind or high-traffic areas — add a bead of exterior-grade adhesive inside the cap before pressing it onto the post. This prevents shifting over time and ensures maximum durability.
Tips for best installation
- Always clean the top of the post before attaching the cap.
- Test-fit the cap before applying adhesive.
- For large-scale projects, consider a rubber mallet for gentle tapping into place.
- Wipe away any excess adhesive immediately to maintain a clean look.
