The Beauty of Metal Post Caps and Finials
Everyone knows about wood post caps and finials but before you make your finial decision you might want to take a quick look at some of the metal choices. For example, look at the advantages of using aluminum post caps. While you have to seal and treat wood you don’t have to do anything to aluminum and it won’t rust either. These great metal post caps will protect your fence and deck posts just like other caps will but you will never have to treat, paint or seal them. They keep their look and feel in any type of weather.
Another great choice are using copper finials to top off a post cap. Copper has a wonderful way of turning into a beautiful patina over the years so it makes a very interesting element to watch throughout the years. Using copper for anything outside is a great conversation piece as well as a wonderful way to enhance your deck or fence posts. While most people use copper as post caps, using them as finials is unique and fun.
