Newport Ball Postcap by Deckorators
What It Is
The Newport Ball Post Cap is a decorative wooden post topper with a rounded “ball top” profile — basically a smooth, spherical silhouette mounted on a square base that sits atop your post. These caps are meant to protect the top end grain of wood posts from moisture and weather damage while adding a classic architectural accent to outdoor structures.
Sizes & Fit
- 4″ × 4″ version — fits nominal 4×4 wood posts (inside opening 3‑5/8″ × 3‑5/8″).
- 6″ × 6″ version — fits nominal 6×6 wood posts (inside opening 5‑5/8″ x 5‑5/8″).
These standard sizes make them compatible with most pressure‑treated, cedar, or other wood posts used in decking, fencing, and porch applications.
Material & Finish
- Clear Cedar: Naturally attractive wood with good outdoor durability and grain.
- Pressure‑Treated Pine: Offers extra resistance to rot and insects, ideal if the post cap will be exposed to moisture or ground contact.
Wood caps are typically unfinished when purchased — so you can stain, seal, or paint them to match your deck or fence color and protect the wood from weathering.
Style & Aesthetics
- Ball‑Top Design: The smooth, rounded top adds a touch of traditional or colonial style compared with flat or peaked caps — great for enhancing classic deck and porch designs.
- Natural Wood Look: Works especially well on wood railings and posts, retaining a warm, natural aesthetic that complements timber decks or rustic outdoor spaces.
Installation
- Simply slide the cap over the top of the post.
- Exterior‑grade adhesive applied inside the cap helps keep it in place; some installers also use finishing nails or screws.
- Before installation, it’s recommended to finish all surfaces (top, sides, underside) with a high‑quality exterior stain or sealer to reduce cracking and splitting.
This unpainted wood ball cap can be stained or painted to match house trim or your railings. Made from clear cedar or pressure treated pine. Newport ball top wood post caps enhance wood railing and gate posts. Cedar or pressure treated.
