How To Measure For Post Caps
All of our post caps are made to fit posts of their respective size. For example, a 4" post cap will fit a post with a 4" outside diameter. A 5" post cap will fit a post with a 5" outside diameter. Often, a so-called 4" x 4" post is actually 3.625" x 3.625" when measured. This is why we strongly encourage you to measure your posts before you order. There's nothing worse than having your post caps arrive only to realize they are too big or too small! Once you've found the actual size of your posts, the fun part begins. It's time to pick out caps! Questions? Call our experienced post cap crew at (888) 378-1145 today.
