If you are looking to create a fenced- in yeard where you kids can play without worrying about them wondering off into the neighbors yard, you need to make your fence last a lifetime. The way to do this is to protect it's support posts. Since every fence is only as good as it's support posts you want to do everything you can to protect those posts. Most people overlook the fact that if the top of the posts is not proteceted well it will eventually rot and deteriorate. If this happens the fence looses it's support. The way to protect the posts from deteriorating is to use a MITERLESS post cap that will last a lifetime. These post caps are made from one picec of hardwood with NO JOINTS to split apart. They come in all sizes and will keep your structual posts lasting a lifetime so you can enjoy that fenced in yard until your kids dont need it any more!
