5” x 5” Transform Base Post Trim by RDI
What It Is
The Transform Base Trim (often called a base post trim or trim ring) is a decorative piece that wraps around the bottom of a 5" × 5" post sleeve in the Transform railing system. It provides a clean transition between the post sleeve and the deck or floor surface, hiding any gaps and creating a finished, polished look.
Key Dimensions & Fit
- Fits: 5" × 5" Transform post sleeves (the trim slides over the sleeve at its base).
- Inner dimensions: 5.04" × 5.04" — sized to snugly fit around the post sleeve.
- Outer dimensions: 6.93" × 6.93" — so it creates a subtle wider decorative footprint at the base.
- Height: 1-3/4" — enough to cover the seam without being bulky.
Material & Finish
Like other Transform components, this base trim is made from Composicore® with a 100% acrylic exterior, giving it:
- Low maintenance — resists rot, warping, moisture and UV discoloration.
- Durability outdoors — unlike wood, it won’t splinter or degrade over time.
- Coordinated look — available to match typical Transform colors such as Satin White or Satin Black.

About this product…
Post trims are pieces of material that wrap around the bottom of your beams or posts in order to bridge the gap between your columns and your decking. Post trims can offer more cohesion or an aesthetically pleasing transition from the materials of your columns to the materials of your decking. Transform has the look and feel of a wood railing- without the hassles of wood; thus making these products resistant to rot, extreme weather conditions, discoloration and warping. These products are offered in four different colors, allowing you to have a hand in your aesthetic preferences and a more personal customization of your outdoor area. The post trim works with the Transform Post Sleeve.
