Wood Post Cap Patterns

As with the design on the top of a picket or the curve at the top of an exposed handrail, the post cap has a very important function. It sheds water off and away from the end grain of the wood. This is accomplished by two factors, first being the design of the cap (i.e. round, pointed, etc) and the second being the fact that the base of the cap is slightly larger than the post it caps. This creates a drip edge to run the water down the side of the post and not under the cap.
