Marthas Vineyard Post Topper by Nantucket Post Caps
Overview
The Martha’s Vineyard Non‑Slip Over Post Cap is a wood post cap made by Nantucket Post Cap that slides over the top of your post to shield the end grain from weather and add a tidy, architectural detail. It’s part of Nantucket’s “non‑slip over” post cap line, meaning it’s shaped to fit snugly without internal molding — making it simple to install and suitable for a range of post sizes.
Materials & Construction
Clear Cedar
- Made from premium clear Western Red Cedar, both known for outdoor durability and natural resistance to moisture and insects when finished properly.
- Constructed from one‑piece, solid wood — there’s no separate molding trim under the cap, just a clean, single cap that sits on the post.
Non‑Slip Fit
- The “non‑slip” name refers to the simple slip‑over design: the cap fits slightly larger than the post so it slides on easily and rests securely.
- Opening is generally 1/8″ larger than the post to allow for wood swelling outdoors.
Sizes & Fit
- Available for a wide range of actual post dimensions from approximately 3‑1/2″ up to 6‑1/2″
- Be sure to measure the actual outside width of your post before ordering — these caps are sized to match real measurements, not “nominal” lumber sizes.
Installation
Simple, Minimal Assembly
- Designed to slip over the post top — no complex assembly or internal trim pieces to install.
- You can secure the cap with exterior marine adhesive (e.g., 3M 5200) and/or stainless‑steel nails if you want extra holding power.
Finishing Before Installation Is Recommended
-
Because this is unfinished wood, applying a sealant, stain, or paint before installation will dramatically extend its life and help resist cracking, checking, and moisture damage.
