Detailed Description / Benefits
Superior Durability & Long-Term Protection
An uncovered hedge post leaves the interior exposed to water, debris, insects, and environmental stress. Over time, this exposure can weaken structural factors and dock the lifetime of the hedge.
The 2.5″ Aluminum Cap fully seals the top of the post, creating a protective barrier that helps:
- Prevent water accumulation
- Block debris and insects
- Protect internal post structure
- Reduce long-term wear

Its minimalist design complements:
