The GeZu Impex 71x71mm silver post cap is designed for homeowners and contractors looking to extend the lifespan of their wooden fence posts by protecting them from moisture, rot, and decay. Its durable pyramid-shaped construction effectively sheds water, ensuring the tops of your posts remain dry in various weather conditions. While these caps provide excellent protection and a professional aesthetic finish, users should ensure their post measurements precisely match the 71mm x 71mm dimensions for a secure and flush fit.

The product information does not specify that screws are included. It is recommended to purchase weather-resistant or stainless steel screws to prevent rust.
While the silver finish is durable, if you choose to paint them, use a high-quality metal primer first to ensure the paint adheres correctly.
No, these are strictly designed for 71 x 71 mm posts. They will not fit a 75 mm post.
These caps feature a material thickness of 1.5 mm, providing a good balance between weight and durability.
Ensure the post is dry and treated with a high-quality wood preservative before installing the cap.
The metallic finish is designed for durability, but consistent maintenance and cleaning are recommended in salty coastal air to maintain the appearance.
Verify that your post is exactly 71 x 71 mm. If the post has swelled due to moisture, sand the sides of the post until the cap slides on.
Ensure the top of the timber post is cut perfectly flat. Use a shim or a small amount of exterior silicone adhesive to level the cap before tightening the screws.
Use a slightly smaller pilot hole for the screws to ensure the wood can grip the threads effectively.
Before installation, ensure your posts are cut square and are exactly 71 x 71 mm. If the post top has been damaged or is splintered, sand it flat to ensure the cap sits flush. To install, position the cap squarely over the post, align the pre-drilled 5 mm holes, and secure it using weather-resistant screws that match the silver finish. Maintenance is minimal; periodically check that the screws remain tight and the cap has not shifted due to wood expansion or contraction. If you live in an area with high salt content in the air, you may want to clean the caps occasionally with a damp cloth to maintain the silver finish.
