Snap’ n Lock Fence Toppers to Finish the Job
Snap’ n Lock Fence Toppers do a simple job of finishing off a fence. You know when you look at the top of the fence, and it looks kind of bare like there is something missing in the frame? A perfect answer is to insert stylish balusters into the space in the frame.
Balusters look great, add style and really make your fence look top-notch. You can match them with fence finials too.
A problem, though, is in adding balusters to the frame. Traditionally finishing off a fence this way is a two-person task, one to hold the baluster while the other tries to screw it into place. When doing a tall fence or a long one, all the fussing around can be stressful. Our patented Snap’ n Lock Fence Toppers take all the stress out of the work. They work so easily and quickly that one person can insert the balusters in minutes, and they don’t need four hands to do it either.
Just how do the Snap’ n Lock Fence Toppers work?
Our sideways fitting Snap’ n Lock Fence Toppers are easy to install when adding balusters to your fence, making it easy finishing off a fence.
All you need for the fence topping project comes in the box, including the correct screws. There is no messing about down to the hardware store trying the find the suitable screws or the right amount of them.
You mark along the frame where you want the balusters to go into place. Do not forget to mark the corresponding spots on both the top and bottom of the frame. With the power screwdriver, you screw the connectors into place for adding balusters.
It is as easy as that, and when you have all the connectors in place, you have finished stage one, it really is so simple adding balusters.
The next stage is to slide the loose connectors over the balusters, one for the top and one for the bottom of the rod. Do you notice the Snap and the Lock bits in the name of the product? Well, your next step is to snap the balusters into place into the top and bottom connectors you just fitted to the frame. It is just a matter of snapping each one in with a simple sliding motion. You will hear the snap as you do it.
When you have the baluster in place comes the Lock bit of the process. Slide the loose connector up to the top one on the frame and snap it into place. Do the same for the bottom connector, snapping it home easily and gently. Yes, you will hear the snap noise each time.
Snap’ n Lock Fence Toppers are that easy to fit into the fence frame when finishing off a fence, or for giving life to an old fence renewal project.
Snap’ n Lock Fence Toppers are not only for the new fences
Maybe you have an old fence renewal project that could do with a bit of brightening too?
The good news here is that adding balusters is just as easy when doing an old fence renewal project as a new one. You follow the same process of installation, snapping, and fitting the balusters for finishing off a fence. along the fence top. Doing an old fence renewal project in only an hour can transform it into an eye-catching structure in the garden or back yard.
You can also stain and seal the old fence to match the quality of the new balusters. Many people think getting rid of an older fence is the answer to brightening the garden or yard. Not so, and doing an old fence renewal project, using the Snap’ n Lock Fence Toppers will save a lot of money, time, and the disruption of replacing the fence.
Add a few extras for more style
The great news is the balusters will last and last and do not fade over time. They are made of bullet-proof and weather-proof materials, which are designed to withstand the toughest of conditions. The cold, wet, and ice of the winter will not affect the balusters. A UV coating protects them through the hot summers of constant sunshine. All you need are the fence finials.
At Fence Armor®, we can offer fence finials and other extras when finishing off a fence. Our CAP CLAW™ Post Caps have a unique claw mechanism for fitting onto any standard size fence post. You simply fit them onto the top of the post, and they will stay there through any high winds or winter storms, as will the fence finials when screwed in. A post cap protects the exposed wood from damage and prolongs the life of the fence.
The dressing up of the fence does not stop with the Snap’ n Lock Fence Toppers and fence post caps. You can insert one of our fence finials into the fence post cap for some extra style. Choose from our range, including Fleur de Lis, Hops, or even the very popular Texas Lasso Star. You can use finials as part of your old fence renewal project too.
The finished look
When you finish adding balusters and the fence finials, you will see the beauty in the fence. Your finished look is elegant, beautiful, and outstanding. You will probably wonder why you waited so long to get started on finishing off a fence in the yard.

Titan Shadow Rail Connector - The Deck Accessories You Are Missing
A Titan shadow rail connector is one of those deck accessories that works so well you don’t even know it is there. It is a simple yet very clever idea that every deck railing and stair railing installer should use. Describing them is easy but understanding their importance is a bit trickier.
Take a look at any deck railing around the perimeter of a deck railing or stair railing up from the yard. The railing looks great, and you can see why your sister or neighbor installed the deck. When you take a closer look, however, you may see something is not quite right.
There is a bit of a gap, an unsightly one, between the rails and the posts. The gap takes away from the craftsmanship of the deck or stair railing installation. Luckily, Fence Armor stocks the perfect set of deck accessories, including the rail connector to hide that gap and improve the look of your deck.
What is a Titan shadow rail connector?
Once you have the posts in place, and the rails from your deck supplier, you need to connect the two to build the deck railing. A rail connector allows you to do this and do it quickly and easily. A Titan shadow rail connector is made of 100% North American materials. It is a durable polycarbonate box that covers the connection between the rails and the deck posts. The pack contains two connectors, the correct screws, and each pack will do both ends of a rail.
The beauty of this rail connector is that it hides the connection between the rail and the deck post. What other deck accessories do this so easily? When you have the rail in place, all anyone will see is the quality of your work, not an untidy gap between the rail and deck post.
The rail connector enables you to build like a pro, even it’s on a Saturday morning, and you’re just out of bed.
Connecting the rails could not be easier
Connecting a deck railing to the deck post looks like it could be a difficult job, with a lot of deck accessories to manage. It could be one of those that you need a professional to do. Right? Well, not this time. With the right product and a couple of tools, you will build that deck or stair railing like a professional.
To build using the rail connector, you mark on the rail where the piece goes. You then mark the corresponding place on the deck post. When ready, attach a rail connector to the deck post and one to the rail, using the screws that come in the pack. With the two in place, you just slot the deck rail onto the post and build the deck railing.
Repeat the process all around the deck, and you have built a safe and secure deck or stair railing for the family.
The benefits to you
There are many benefits to using a Titan shadow rail connector. The obvious one is that it gives a seamless appearance to the deck railings. It hides the fasteners and also protects them from the effects of the weather. Remember your deck is outside throughout the year and suffers from the impact of rain, snow, and ice. Protecting the fasteners prolongs the life of your deck railing.
The shadow rail connector is also UV protected. It will not fade, bleach, or deteriorate under the warmth of the summer sun. A lot of polycarbonate or outdoor vinyl products quickly lose color after a summer of continuous sunshine.
Not the Titan shadow rail connector.
Invisible artistry
Is there anything worse than your hard work looking a bit obvious when you finish? You put all that time and effort into building the stair railing, but it all looks untidy. Thankfully our rail connector solves this problem too.
The Titan shadow rail connector comes in black and will not fade or peel even during the warmest of the summer weather. You can match the black with the aluminum balusters or other deck accessories for a smooth, balanced finish to the installation. It is also possible to paint the rail connectors to make for a seamless completion of the work. We know of many people who stain the polycarbonate connectors to blend with the wood of the deck.
Painting or staining the rail connector does not compromise the quality or the durability of the product.
Adding curb appeal
The Titan shadow rail connector comes with all the screws and extras you need. What you need to bring to the party is a power screwdriver and a bit of muscle.
When you have your deck and stair railing in place, take a step back and admire the work. You have built a safe space for the family, but with the Titan shadow rail connector, you have also added curb appeal.
Not bad for a morning’s work.

The Origin of Deck Balusters
Let’s first start off with what exactly is a deck baluster?
