Hatteras Castine Cedar Post Cap
What it is
The Hatteras Castine Cedar Post Cap by Deckorators is a simple, classic wood post cap designed to finish and protect the top of outdoor wood posts (most commonly 4×4 or 6×6 posts). It’s part of Deckorators’ wood‑post accessory lineup that complements traditional wood decks, railings, pergolas, fences, and porch posts.
Material & Construction
- Made of cedar wood — a durable and attractive outdoor wood that naturally resists decay and insects better than some other woods.
- Natural, unfinished cedar lets you stain, paint, or seal the cap to match your deck, railing, or trim.
- Simple flat top design with slightly tapered edges for a clean, classic look.
Fit & Sizes
Designed to fit standard wood posts:
-
4″ × 4″ posts (actual ~3‑1/2″ × 3‑1/2″)
It slips over the top of the post and can be secured with exterior‑grade adhesive or small nails/screws if desired.
Function & Benefits
- Protects Post Tops — Shields the end grain of your wood post from rain, snow, and UV exposure, helping reduce rot and extend life.
- Clean, Finished Look — Adds a simple but polished cap that makes unfinished posts look intentional and refined.
- Customizable Aesthetics — Since it’s cedar and unfinished, you can stain or paint it any color you prefer.
- Budget‑Friendly Wood Cap — One of Deckorators’ most inexpensive wood caps if you’re focused on price and function.
