FAQ:
What is the difference between post-sleeves and post-wraps?
There’s not a huge difference in aesthetic, rather how they are installed. Which you choose typically depends on the state of your existing posts. Post-sleeves are one piece, while post-wraps are made up of multiple pieces that clasp together. Post-wraps are the perfect solution if your existing posts don’t allow you space to slide a cover over the top of them. With their multiple points of detachment, the Durables post-wraps offer a lot of freedom to the consumer and allows them to avoid a costly replacement. Both post-wraps and post-sleeves offer a new and fresh look to an otherwise dated or worn railing system. 5” x 5” Vinyl Post Sleeve Installation Instructions - Simply slide the post sleeve over the existing post!
