Nantucket Great Point Slip Over Post Caps slide over the top of the post, bottom trim overlaps the post. Sizes are offered to fit nearly any size post. The sizes shown are the actual measurement of the post itself. Measure your post and order the size that matches your post size.
All of our products are produced from the finest grade of Redwood or Western Red Cedar and sold “natural”. Our wood products may be treated with a clear sealer to preserve the natural wood color while protecting them against the elements. The red cedar and redwood can be painted or stained as well. A marine grade adhesive can be used to fasten wooden caps to the fence posts.
Materials - All of our slip over post caps are available in clear, vertical grain, kiln dried, Redwood and Clear Western Red Cedar. These wood types are best known for their durability in harsh environments, and their beauty.
Construction - Slip over fence caps are crafted using a 5 piece construction with V-nails in each corner of the molding. 12 or more stainless steel staples are used to permanently fasten the molding to the underside of the wooden post cap.
Installation - For a nail-free look, simply apply an exterior marine adhesive like 3M 5200 to the top of the post and slip the post cap over. Stainless steel nails may be used as an alternative, but not necessary.
Post Sizes: 3-1/2", 3-1/2" x 5-1/2", 3-3/4", 4", 4" x 6", 4-1/2", 4-3/4", 5", 5-1/2", 5-3/4", 6", 6-1/2", 7", 7-1/2", 8", 8-1/2", 9", 9-1/2", 10"
Note: Caps are 1/8" larger than post to allow for natural post swelling.
Here is a great picture from a customer of ours in Peachtree City, GA. They used the NPC-GP612 Great Point Post Cap in Redwood, topped with the NPC-NFE6C Eel Point Finial in Cedar. This project looks great, here is some feedback from our customer:
"Hello George-
We needed some light at the end of our walkway. We preferred to side mount the lamp so as to be able to match the fixtures that we already had on the house. To achieve this we needed to build the post ourselves. In doing so we were now able to side mount the fixture, add a remote sensor, and add an electrical outlet for Christmas lights and power tools. We are so please with our project ! We searched the internet to find just the right topper for our post and fell in love with yours. Thank you so much. PS the top fit perfectly!!"
Thank you so much Suzanne! I am glad that we could help you complete this beautiful project - you guys should be proud - it looks wonderful!

Quality product arrived on time and was exactly what we expected! Looks great!
Product arrived as promised. The post tops are beautiful!
Hoover Fence did great overall. They were able to provide a fence post cap for an unusually sized post. Seems to be good quality. Great! A couple thoughts: 1) $16.95 for shipping is a lot. Especially when it isn't overnight. I didn't need overnight, so some sort of cheaper standard shipping might be a good option. 2) I received an email saying the item was shipped on the same day I received the item. Great job, and thank you!
Nice selection, would order from company again.
Great and expedient service! Very professional yet personal as well.
