Review on Enhance Your Outdoor Space with the Newport High Pyramid Cedar Post Cap, 6 Inch x 6 Inch, Natural by James Maruffo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Mixed bag. One was in perfect condition, no knots or stains, and the other looked like "the second one ".

I bought two of these anchors for some new posts added to a previously installed cedar fence. I'll admit I grimaced a little when ordering because the price was high, but I received my two plugs fairly quickly. As soon as they arrived I found that the build quality of the caps was excellent. I started applying cedar stain to them and found that the first lid was beautiful, pure cedar with no knots or stains, while the second had a few knots on the top and one of the sides had been repaired with wood putty. I guess you could say that the second lid literally looked like it was "second". However, after painting, the two covers looked almost the same and I was able to hide that part with wood putty and position it towards the side wall of the house. That being said, I believe that if you asked 100 people what they thought of the caps once in place, I doubt anyone would notice anything wrong, especially since the cap is at the top of a 10ft pole located, so 4 stars seemed appropriate. , and in case you're wondering, the instructions say to attach them with construction glue, but I think most professional fence installers just drive a nail into each side of the post.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Crumpled
