The 2″ Aluminum Cap functions as a critical protective element within any modern fence system. By securely sealing the top of each post, it helps prevent:
- Rainwater intrusion
- Internal corrosion
- Debris accumulation
- Insect infiltration
- Premature structural weakening
Open Hedge posts allow humidity and pollutants to enter the internal depression, potentially causing long- term deterioration. This aluminum cap eliminates that threat by furnishing a tight, secure fit that preserves the integrity of the post structure.
