4" x 6" Copper Metal Post Point
What It Is
A post point is essentially a metal pyramid‑style cap with a pointed top (often called a “point” or “pyramid” style). It sits flush over the top end of a wood post to:
- Protect the end grain of the post from water, snow, and weather penetration (which helps reduce rot, splitting, and decay)
- Add a finished, decorative architectural detail to the top of an outdoor post
- Prevent debris and moisture from accumulating on the wood surface
This version is made from solid copper for long‑term outdoor use. Copper is naturally weather‑resistant and forms a patina over time, giving a classic aged look.
Materials & Construction
- 100% Solid Copper: Unlike plated or coated metals, solid copper will never rust and ages beautifully with a natural patina finish over time.
- Slip‑Over Style: The post point slips over the top of the post and sits over the wood’s upper end grain; it can be secured with outdoor adhesive (or small finishing nails if preferred).
- Made in the USA: Typical of Nantucket Post Cap products — hand‑crafted and manufactured domestically.
Fit & Compatibility
- Fits a 4″ × 6″ wood post with actual dimensions around 3‑1/2"″ × 5‑91/2″.
- The inside base opening matches these dimensions so the cap slides on snugly.
- Designed specifically for rectangular posts rather than square posts.
