The concrete post caps we sell can be used to strengthen and elevate the appearance of almost any concrete fence. We have many customers that use our post caps in their driveways and front yards, as well as in their privacy fences.
The post caps are available in 6 different colors, including white, and are also available with a cap on both ends so you can easily cut them to fit your fence. Anyone who has ever raised the height of their fence knows how much it adds to the curb appeal of your home. When you want to add another 4 inches or so height to your existing fence, or simply want a little extra security with your perimeter fence, these post caps are the perfect addition.
These post caps are made from high quality materials and are made in the USA.
Post caps are metal or plastic caps that fit over the ends of a wooden fence post. They are used to protect the wood from rot and also to prevent birds from nesting in the fence.
In a number of cases, post caps look just like the fence wire that surrounds them: they are a section of one- or two-inch barbed wire. In these cases, it is essential that the cap be well secured to the post by either a concrete block or some other means.
In the case of Portland Cement® fence wire posts, there are two methods that can be used to secure a fence cap: 1) The post cap can be secured to the post with a concrete block (also called “post anchor” or “top anchor”). 2) The post cap can be placed directly on top of an existing concrete block.
These are the caps that cover the nails in your fence post. They’re made of white portland cement and they look very attractive. But what do they do?
The answer is: they make your fence posts look pretty, but they don’t protect them from animals digging under the fence.
It is common to ask the question, “Will this post cap hold up?” And it is a reasonable question. But the answer depends on context.
For example, you wouldn’t ask that question about a piece of rock or a branch or a tree branch. But you might ask it about something made out of concrete. Why? Because concrete is an amazingly strong material. It is fine-grained, so you can make it in large sheets; you don’t even have to make a mold. And once you make it, it doesn’t crumble at all in normal circumstances. You would be surprised to see how much weight it could support, how long it would stand up under water pressure, how much heat it could withstand, and how many different kinds of chemicals you could put on top of it and not hurt anything.
Because concrete is so strong and such a good material for things that need to be very strong and able to survive in hostile environments, people will pay very dearly for high-quality concrete products. That’s why every company making concrete products has a name like “Concrete Block” or “Concrete Pipe” or “Concrete Pavers” or “Concrete Countertops.”
In other words, if the post cap was made out of wood
Post caps are the standard material for stone retaining walls, garden walls, and other landscaping projects. A post cap is a plastic pipe with a metal cap on the end. Most of us know that concrete is a kind of cement, but we don’t always think of the word “concrete” as referring to stuff that can be used as post caps. Why not?
Probably because concrete is so common and so familiar. But concrete is just one kind of cement: Portland cement, also known as portland cement. Portland cement is made from limestone and clay, which comes from layers in the ground that were deposited by ancient rivers millions of years ago. Portland means “from Portland.” Cement is a name given to certain clays, which are strong because they contain calcium and alumina (which are called silicates).
When you make concrete, you mix all these ingredients together until they form a substance that hardens when it dries. This substance hardened in Roman times by adding lime (calcium oxide) and silica (silicon dioxide). The result was concrete, which was then used to build aqueducts and bridges. Concrete can be made into any shape, but it’s most often used for buildings because it’s strong and durable. It
It is possible that these cement caps are not pure white, but are actually some kind of unpigmented concrete.
The idea of unpigmented concrete is based on the experience of builders who harden a surface before color-adding pigment.
Why would this be necessary?
The real reason is that the more transparent the surface, the better it will look once painted. All paints perform differently in different types of light, with green and yellow being the most problematic. It’s much easier to make a surface look good if it has no pigment than if it does.
Concrete is a traditional building material, with roots that stretch back to the ancient world. It has many uses, from the big (roads) to the small (countertops), and its basic ingredients are fairly simple. The key to making a strong concrete wall is in how you mix it.
Concrete is made by adding cement to water and binding it into solid form with a substance called aggregate . Aggregate is rock or other hard objects-for example, gravel, sand and crushed brick—that is ground to a finer consistency than regular concrete would allow. When you choose aggregate for your project, you want to make sure that the material you select is not too fine and not too coarse. A material that’s too coarse will create grooves in your wall, while one that’s too fine will turn the concrete into a sponge; this means there will be less resistance against the weight of the structure as well as less strength. A good rule of thumb is that if you can see light through it, it’s fine enough; if you can’t see through it, it’s too fine. If you’re choosing aggregate based on appearance alone, ask friends or family members who have already had work done at your home what they think looks nice and what doesn’t.
