American Made
Atlanta Post Caps is a family-owned & operated business that distributes millions of post caps worldwide from their headquarters in Decatur, Georgia. They’re the only patented post cap on the market and proudly manufactured in the United States.
Our post caps are made from a UV-resistant, high-impact ASA resin, a material commonly used on automobiles and marine vehicles. Tough, durable ASA is what makes our post caps longer lasting than traditional wood post caps* and allows them to keep their shape and color in even the harshest weather.
*According to a study by NC State Bio Resources, ASA resin offers substantial improvements over plain wood. "Qi, R., He, C., and Jin, Q. (2019). "Effect of acrylate-styrene-acrylonitrile on the aging properties of eucalyptus/PVC wood-plastic composites," BioRes. 14(4), 9159-9168."
How To Install
Slide
Slide the post cap base onto your post. The bottom of your post cap base is smaller than the top of the post cap, and the two cap supports should be on top side of the base.
Screw
Secure the base to the post using the 2 pre-drilled holes on each of the cap supports. We highly suggest using anti-rust screws to ensure a lasting, no-hassle attachment.
Place
Align the top of the post cap over the secured base.
Snap
Simply press and the cap will 'snap' firmly into place. Your post cap is now fully installed! We recommend not snapping the caps together until you are ready to install them.

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.

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 look great & were easy to install. I like that they can be easily be shimmed to compensate for an uneven post top.

I purchased atlanta post caps before and have liked the durability. this model is also a very good choice and they have a nice look to them. They fit over the standard 4 inch squared posts which are really about 3/12 squared. If your post is closer to 4 inch these caps have tabs insided that can be easily broken off with a small side cutter. I am very happy of the purchase and of course Amazon shipping arrived faster than the purchase delivery date. 5 stars

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.

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.
funny how?

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.
