Discovering the Wonderful Post Cap
I think of my fence as a symbol of my life. I know it probably sounds odd, but it’s absolutely true. At first, I didn’t take care of my white wooden fence. It came with the house, and I gave it little thought or attention. Guess what? I wasn’t taking care of myself either. But there were consequences to my neglect. The fence began to slowly deteriorate. Eventually, I started all over. I removed the rotted fence and got a new one. This time I made sure the fence was protected with a heavy-duty stain. I researched proper fence care and discovered the wonderful post cap. These are protective design devices that are placed on top of fence posts. They can be very effective in protecting a fence – especially a wooden one – from the elements and from hazards such as bugs and rot.
Then it was time to add extra flourish with a wood finial. Finials are optional ornamental tops placed of a post cap. They give a finished look to a fence and add beauty and curb appeal. I’ve changed my fence, but I’ve also changed my life. It’s important now for me to maintain my health. I’ve also decided that there’s nothing wrong with adding a little decoration and beauty to it either.
