Colorbond Fence Post Double Caps: Finish Your Fence Properly
Colorbond fence post double caps protect the top of your fence posts from water ingress and give your fence a clean, finished appearance. Here is what you need to know.
Colorbond fence post caps are a small but important finishing detail for any Colorbond fence. They protect the top of the fence posts from water ingress, prevent rust from developing inside the hollow post, and give the fence a clean, professional finish.
FPM Building Supplies stocks Colorbond fence post double caps in a range of colours to match the standard Colorbond palette.
What Are Fence Post Double Caps?
A double cap is a post cap designed to fit over the top of a C-channel fence post, covering both the front and back of the post opening. This provides better protection against water entry compared with a single-sided cap.
Double caps are available in colours to match the Colorbond fence sheet and post range.
Why Use Post Caps?
Water protection — The open top of a C-channel post allows rainwater to enter the post, which can accelerate corrosion from the inside out. A post cap prevents water entry and extends the life of the post.
Clean appearance — Post caps give the top of the fence a neat, finished look. Without caps, the open post tops are visible and can look unfinished.
Pest prevention — Caps prevent insects and small animals from nesting inside the hollow posts.
Matching Colours
Post caps are available in colours to match the standard Colorbond range. For a coordinated finish, choose caps that match your fence sheets, rails and posts.
Popular colours include Monument, Woodland Grey, Night Sky, Basalt and Paperbark.
Installation
Post caps simply press onto the top of the fence post. No tools or fixings are required for most standard installations.
Don't Forget the Other Accessories
For a complete Colorbond fence, you will also need:
- Fence sheets — the main panels
- Fence rails — top, mid and bottom rails
- C-channel posts — to support the fence
- Under-fence plinth (optional) — to fill the gap at the base
- Gate stile (if installing a gate) — for the hinge and latch post
FPM Building Supplies stocks all of these components.
