Using Plastic Post Caps and Post Cap Lights
As a landscape contractor, I have seen a multitude of products come and go. Much of it has to do with fashion. Some of it has to do with expense. Plenty of products are just too expense to catch on with the general public. Sometimes less expensive versions of products make it easier for a product to become popular.
This is the trend I have seen recently with the advent of plastic post caps. The plastic of the product makes it cheaper for the average consumer and they do not have to be painted, which also makes the price better. These decorative elements used to be reserved for people who could afford a craftsman to fashion post caps for them. Now this showy feature is easy to come by on the web.
Another element that makes outdoor living easier is to incorporate post cap lights into the garden environment. This extends the party well into the evening by adding lights that are often powered by the sun. Solar post cap lights are pretty in the day as well as at night.
