About this product…
Post Covers are used to cover existing posts that you may have on your deck, in your yard, or around your home. If you’re looking to update a space or make your home feel more in line with your desired aesthetics, post covers are a cost-effective and easeful solution, not requiring you to remove previously installed posts.
Along with being cost and time effective, these Stone Post Covers by Nextstone offer an entrance into an upscale, durable, and earthy outdoor model. These statement pieces give your home a big personality, and are surely elevating. If you’re seeking an upgrade using stone on your decking without having to employ a mason, these pieces offer you the aesthetics and materials that you’re looking for without the long-term commitment of concrete. Striking, bold, and hand-painted, these covers have the look and feel of true masonry. Made from a composite polyurethane, reinforced with pvc for durability, these covers can withstand all kinds of weather, including humidity, rain, snow, and extreme heat. All panels and accessories are created with a proprietary in-mold coating to prevent fading, then hand painted with an exterior durable paint.
This two-piece cover can clamp around posts, making installation possible if unable to slip over the top. Post covers can also be stacked on top of one another to create robust columns or pillars. These stone post covers coordinate perfectly with vinyl, composite, and wood materials, whether for deck rails, wood deck columns, or fence posts.
Simply apply the post covers to any unsightly, weathered, or worn down posts, and you’ll notice an instant sense of accomplishment in making your home look welcoming and refreshed.

INSTALLATION:
Step 1
Measure up 41″ on the post and cut the post to this height. (fig. 1)
Step 2
When using a 4 x 4 post, either fir out the post to 5 ½” x 5 ½” or use the optional sold separately Converter Kit Rings. (fig. 2)

Step 3 (using optional Converter Kit Rings)
Place the bottom ring (marked B) flange down onto the base surface. Pre-drill the four sides and attach the ring to the post using 2″ screws. Use wood shims to keep the ring snug and centered on post if needed. (fig. 3)
Step 4
Measure up 13″ and 26″ from the base. Use a Speed Square to mark a line around the post at these heights. Slide the 2 rings (marked M) to these heights and screw in place as described above. (fig. 4)
Note: If attaching railings, measure up and mark on the post to the height of the bottom and top rail. Fir out the post an additional 1″ at these heights. These will act as the landings for the rail mounts. Use a 3″ x 3″ x 1″ block. Center the block at the scribed line . (Fig. 5)
Consult local codes for height requirements of rails.

Step 5
Position Side 1 with the arrow facing up against the post. Fit the bottom of the post into the bottom ring. Face screw the Post Cover through the rings and into the wood post using 2 ½” screws. Screw through the post in a grout line or at the base of a rock as this will hide the screws. Measure up 13″ and 26″ and face screw through the posts and into the rings. (fig. 6)
Step 6
After securing Side 1 in place, fit side 2 into place. Make sure the arrow is facing up. Dry fit the piece to make sure all finger joints line up and are tight. Secure side 2 at the ring heights as described above.
