No tools required to easily install our fence post caps and finials

Many people are put off by all the tools and bother with fence post finial installs. They see all that measuring, cutting, and drilling as a waste of time. Not so with the Fence Armor® range of fence post caps and finials.

We developed a push-on method of installing the fence post caps. Our patent-pending interior Cap-Claw does all the hard work. The claw is made of American galvanized steel that will not rust or buckle under pressure.

Choose the correct size for your post. Our range goes from 3 and 3/8 inches to 4 and 3/16 inches, which should cover every post size. You simply place the cap on the post and push it into place. In less than a minute, you should have the first one done.

With the caps in place, you screw in the fence post finials to finish the work.

The special coating makes them last

Many people are put off fence post caps and finials because of bad experiences in the past. Poorly made fence post caps and finials quickly lose their shine. A hot summer or heavy rain in the fall can make the post caps and finials powdery and dull. This will not happen with our fence post caps and finials.

Just take one look at our products. The unique, textured coating will keep your caps and fence post finials protected in all types of weather.

You can relax knowing they will not fade or deteriorate over the years.

Our range of decorative easy to install fence post finials includes the Texas Star Lasso. For lovers of the Lone Star state, these are a must-have in the garden. The classic Fleur de Lis is a beautiful addition, as is the Hops design. Our Acorn finial takes flags on miniature poles for special days of honor.

Install a set of our fence post finials for a fence that will be the envy of the neighborhood. Don’t forget to tell the neighbors where you got them when they ask you.

Fence post protection with a fence post cap

A fence post without a cap is open to all kinds of damage.

Moisture from rain, ice, and snow will soak into the top of the posts. The damage from this will soon be obvious. Your posts will begin to rot and chip from the top down, not a good place to be. You will need fence post protection.

By installing our fence post caps and finials, you will be protecting the wood. The unique push-on install method ensures the cap fits tightly to the fence post. You will be saving the post from water damage and the lasting effects of exposure to the sun.

Damaged fence post cap

Your family and kids need protection too

Fence post caps can do a secondary job of protecting the family, kids, and animals on the property.

The edges of a fence post are sharp. If left unprotected, they can cut or graze anyone leaning on the fence. You can easily pick up a splinter under the skin, which is not pleasant and may even become infected.

Installing fence post caps takes away the sharp edges. As they also protect against damage, and there will not be any splinters to catch little hands.
