In short – Miterless Wood Post Caps™ are post caps crafted from a single, solid piece of wood, eliminating vulnerable seams and preventing corner splits caused by water damage. 

Traditional wood fence post caps are made from multiple pieces of wood – usually five – that are glued, stapled, or otherwise fastened together. While this may work for a while, over time, the inevitable happens: Moisture seeps into the seams, causing the wood to swell, contract, swell, contract, and eventually split at the corners. This is especially true in outdoor environments where exposure to rain, sun, and humidity is constant. Even with the best adhesives or fastening techniques, the structural integrity of these traditional post caps will break down over time.

Captiva’s Miterless Wood Post Caps™ solve this problem by eliminating those vulnerable seams. Instead of being made from multiple pieces, our post caps are crafted from a single, solid piece of wood. This seamless construction removes the weak points that cause traditional caps to split. With no joints to absorb water, there is no risk of corner separation, even after years of exposure to the elements.

This innovative Miterless design means you’ll never have to worry about replacing post caps due to splitting corners. In fact, our Miterless Wood Post Caps™ are guaranteed for life* (Against Split Corners), offering a level of confidence and longevity that traditional caps simply can’t match.

Another benefit of our Miterless Wood Post Caps™ is how easy they are to install.

The simplicity of this installation process means you won’t need any complex tools or special skills – just apply the adhesive, fit the cap snugly onto the post, and it’s ready to protect your fence for years to come.
