Troubleshooting
Cap does not fit securely
Ensure the post is no wider than 100mm. If the post is slightly uneven, a small shim may be required for a snug fit before screwing.
Screws do not engage properly
Check that the pre-drilled holes are properly aligned. If the wood is very hard, a small pilot hole may assist screw insertion.
Wood appears to be weathering despite cap
Ensure the cap is fitted correctly to cover the entire top surface and prevent water ingress. Reapply sealant if necessary.
