It is spring and time to get busy getting the yard and gardens in shape for the rest of the year.
One of those many chores you may have on your list is either building, maintaining or fixing a fence.
While this can be hard work if you do it yourself, don't forget to polish it off with post caps.
This will both set your fence apart from your neighbors and give you great satisfaction at the finished product.
Even if you hire out the fence repairs or construction you can have your crew add the caps in the end or easily add them yourself without a lot of fuss or time.
The vast majority of fence caps come ready to install without a lot of prep.
If you purchase wood fence post caps you may want to paint or stain them as well as put a coat of sealer on them before installation, which is an easy thing to accomplish.
However, you have a great variety of post and deck caps to choose from that will fit any occasion or outdoor area.
There are the simple copper post points that cover your post to the more elaborate solar light caps that use solar technology to light up the area through the night.
You can also get a low voltage light but this takes more work and the help of an electrician.
The advantage of this type of installation is the lights are normally brighter and you don't have to rely on the sun.
For those is areas that don't get much sunshine this might be the answer.
Another consideration is metal post tops.
Most people know about the lovely copper tops that turn with time to a beautiful patina but there is also an array of other metal fencing post caps such as stainless, brushed and galvanized steel as well as pewter.
You can also get these metals in the simple post points that are both beautiful and very affordable.
However, with so many choices, it's the wooden post caps made of cedar or redwood that are still the most popular today.
These woods are durable and can be easily painted or stained the color of your choice or left in their natural beauty atop your fence posts and they come in many shapes and sizes to fit and match just about any wooden fence you have.
There is also the wonderful mahogany wood post caps that you may also want to consider, mainly for indoor use.
One of my personal favorites is the glass tiffany post caps that you can get plain or with solar lights.
The solar light cap looks fantastic in the late evening in the gardens and is hard to match.
Of course there are also many other glass caps that are beautiful that you may want to consider as well.
For those of you that have a vinyl or plastic fence, you also have a great deal of choices when looking at post tops.
There are a vast number of selections for vinyl and plastic deck and fence caps along with solar and low-voltage post cap lighted options to keep you happy and satisfied with your choice.
The one thing you need to consider when looking at these options is the sizes to make sure you get the right ones when you order.
No matter what you choose, I'm sure you will be able to install and maintain these lovely additions to your fence.
They will be delivered with detailed instructions on how to prepare them, install them and maintain them for long life.
Make sure you follow the instructions to get the most out of your purchase.
I know you will thoroughly enjoy them and the beauty they bring to the overall look and feel of your home and landscape.
