4 in. x 4 in White Vinyl Gothic Fence Post Cap

My 4” posts measure about 3 7/8” or 3 15/16” (hard to tell because of rounded corners). The opening in the cap is 4”. That means you would have a 3/16” gap all the way around. You could probably get it to stay on the post by applying generous amounts of PVC glue all around the top of the post, or by using some shim material, but then it becomes a question of how good it would look. If this is to replace a broken, out of the way cap, I might do it. If it’s for new caps for the entire fence, I would get the right size, even if it costs a little more.

My area it is online only, I believe.

Not necessarily. Actually, I didn't even know they made clips. It comes with a small tube of glue, but I also use two screws on opposite sides of the post. Drill a pilot hole through the cap and post (smaller than the screw size), then use a small stainless steel screw long enough to go through both (#8 x 1" works). I make outdoor signs and have used this method for many years with no issues.

I have three in use outside for two years minimum now, with another twelve plus posts to use hopefully prior to next Winter 2021. The post caps fit perfectly to date and appear not to weather at all; and I live in the woods. I would have preferred a "Ball Cap" Design, but evidently Veranda does not manufacture such a design. Other than not the best design for my taste, I am happy. I will continue to use this design cap across my property.

these caps fit on a 4" x 4" post

BJ, You will need a 2 in. X 2 In. fence post cap for your needs. Check your local Home Depot store to find these caps. The associates at Customer Service Desk will be happy to check the inventory for you and direct you toward these caps. eyedaddy

You would need to fill the gap with wood pieces or something equivalent. Most treated 4 x 4's are 3.5" x 3.5". The vinyl cap hole is 4" x 4".

It comes with a small tube of glue. You may glue it on or drill a pilot hole in the base of the cap through both cap and pole. Then screw a small stainless steel screw through both. A #6 x .75 works nicely. I make signs and want to be sure the cap stays put, so I use the latter method.

Yes. You can use any exterior paint you desire .It will lioekly need two coats

Yes. It will fit over the fence post. Use construction adhesive. Apply a generous bead of adhesive on the bottom indie surface Oon all four sides
