Post Cover

The 13″ × 6″ flat‑mount deck post cover delivers an immediate architectural finish while shielding structural framing from seasonal moisture without reducing stair clearance or interfering with rail junctions.

Precision Geometry for Flush Deck Transitions

Cut specifically for standard residential single‑post footprints, this surface‑mounted cladding aligns directly against existing wood or composite vertical supports. The minimal profile wraps the front face and lateral edges, concealing exposed bolt heads, seam gaps, and rough end cuts. Because it mounts flat rather than enclosing the post, the cover maintains precise handrail sleeve clearance, preserves original baluster spacing, and keeps rail heights unchanged—a consistent requirement for narrow porches, balconies, and tiered deck layouts.

Moisture Deflection and Secure Attachment

Extending beyond the primary face, the side-wrapping design channels rainfall away from vulnerable end grains, limiting liquid absorption and protecting both timber and metal subframes from freeze‑thaw degradation. The housing incorporates integrated pre‑drilled mounting channels that line with standard layout patterns. Attach the cover by wiping underlying debris, verifying firm substrate contact, and driving compatible exterior‑grade screws through the designated holes. Verify the 13‑inch coverage area clears local ledger board connections and bracket hardware before final drilling.
