Repairing Our Fence with Fence Post Caps
Last spring my husband noticed that our fence posts were starting to split and called in a couple of fencing companies to get quotes on fixing them. We were taken back when we were told that they needed to be dug up and replaced and the estimates for this work just added insult to injury! A friend of ours who is also a contractor came over and told us though they eventually might need replaced he would try sealing the posts and using fence post caps to eliminate water from getting down into the posts as well as insect damage. Who knew post caps did that?
So we invested in a high grade sealant and spent an afternoon sealing the posts and I purchased a copper post cap for the fence posts that has turned out to be very nice and distinctive in our neighborhood. That has been almost a year ago and the posts have held up very well, the copper has aged and started to age and show the patina that looks so wonderful and we saved a lot of money. It’s amazing what you can do if you only know how!
