Questions & Answers

Q:Can these be used on green pressure treated lumber? Most pressure treatment utilizes copper, so, are there corrosion considerations to be concerned about, especially if the caps are made of copper plated aluminum?

by|Aug 9, 2023

1 Answer

Answer This Question

A: ConfusedindaUP, these post caps are copper plated stainless steel. Our copper post caps come with a thin, clear marine lacquer designed to protect them before and during installation. However, once exposed to the elements, the coating breaks down, exposing the metal underneath. In general, copper progresses from a natural salmon color to a series of russet browns and grays, and finally to a blue green or gray-green patina. To maintain the shiny look, apply a car wax immediately after purchasing the cap, and reapply every 3 to 6 months.

Keep in mind that this is "copper" in color only and appears to be some type of plastic. You also need some type of adhesive to attach it as it comes with no screw or nails. After trying this one I made my own with some old copper flashing and copper nails. They don't look as pretty, but will last for many years.

Not copper

These are not real copper. They are coated aluminum. The second i drilled a hole for a screw it was aluminum under the coating. But these are still cheap and look good so i am still going to buy more.

Love these post caps

These things are awesome. Fit perfectly on a 4 x 4. They really class it up! And I could not believe the price compared to other copper caps.

Copper toppers for 4 x 4s

These were the best compliment and finishing touch to the 4 x 4 posts on my deck steps. They are pressed from copper which means that they will not only keep the water from the top of the posts but acquire a nice patina as time goes by. They can be just dropped into place over the top of the 4 x 4 and held in place with a spot or two of construction adhesive.

Dear Hamrdul, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a positive review. We really appreciate it when other DIYers share their experience so that future customers can have a better installation experience.

Oxidizes fast in heat, humidity and salt air

We installed a fence 4 weeks ago. It is 420 linear feet so that's a lot of fence caps. You can see in the photo the fence is brand new, not even stained yet. They looked great to begin with. They do still look good from a distance but, close up, they are badly oxidized already. There was oxidation within a week of installation. I live on the Gulf Coast in Alabama and that may have some bearing on the fast oxidization because of the heat, humidity and salt air. There is full shade and bright sunlight along the fence area but all caps have oxidized at the same rate. Since they have a 'protective' clear coat, my only option will be to paint them when they get too bad. The fence caps on the steps up to the house front and back were originally black. I painted them a copper color to match. They look fabulous still. I made my own 'enamel' paint by mixing 2 parts copper acrylic craft paint and one part external water based polyurethane. That's my fallback plan. Recommended as good value with rervations regarding performance.

Previously I reviewed this product and gave it lower marks mainly because the ones that get direct sunlight in a state with a long, hot, humid summers, faded and tarnished after two summers and winters. The other reason I previously gave lower Quality and Value scores (I see those two scores as related) is because I searched *everywhere* for outdoor bright copper paint and came up empty. There were industrial products for big jobs (copper roofing, etc.), but I gave up. Then I was in Home Depot and spotted a bright copper metallic paint that can be for exterior but I don't think for constant exposure to sun, rain, etc. What a difference between the Rustoleum High Heat copper paint finish that I previously thought would restore their color and the Rustoleum product I recently got at Home Depot. See photo of before and after. Also I had spotted the Automotive enamel clear coat. I am very happy with this low-cost solution to extend the life of these super affordable caps. I have put them outside next to a new one (see photo) and, well, judge for yourself. Note that I tilted them down to show in bright daylight. Morning and dusk they "pop". Thanks Home Depot! Let's do this, together! p.s. I'm a loyal customer since going to the store that opened in the early 80s, at that time, Lindbergh area of Atlanta.

I recommend this product mainly because it's a reasonably good product at a very good price. But for each person, it depends. I bought 20 and 18 get direct sun in a southeastern state. Two years in and the 18 are quite dull and tarnished. I tried cleaning with SOS pads, but the surface does not shine up. So if you want accents in your yard, these will do it, and if they are in shade, probably will shine a lot longer than 2 years. I wrongly assumed that I could buy high gloss exterior copper (simulated) paint or enamel, but everything is INTERIOR use only. I searched marine coatings and the problem is, finding super bright gold metallic leaf or high gloss gold colors. I did see one or two online, but then a few reviewers said the color was NOT bright and shiny gold. Gold is not the same as copper effect anyway, but I would go for it if only someone made an EXTERIOR paint (preferably spray). I just tried Rustoleum High Heat Ultra. The cap color looks glossy, but it doesn't look that way on my spray-painted copper caps. I am debating if I want to spend $90 (with tax) to get 20 more of these caps. I certainly wouldn't buy the more expensive ones because I doubt they will fare much better. These caps would come out to $45 per year, or about $4 per month, to reclaim the landscape accenting we enjoyed. If you are going to sell your house, get these! Small investment to nicely differentiate your property from others.
