A Post is Simply A Post . . . Or, Is It?

It's so easy to overlook a post. By most accounts, a post really isn’t that beautiful. We get so caught up in designing the interior of a project that the look of the post can be completely left out. It’s a shame, because there are many lovely post caps available to choose from. The type of cap is dependent upon the size of the post. If your post is larger in size, then your post cap selection is limited. If your using standard size posts, say 2" square, then you'll find many styles to choose from.

If you're trying to cut costs, and can't afford that fancy interior design, be sure to ask about post caps. They add that little something that could be missing from the project. By adding this simple finishing touch, you are creating something unique and special.

Of all the post caps, I love ball caps the best, they are classic in design and finish off your post nicely. They are compatible with almost every architectural style and really are timeless. You can even see the ball cap design used on wrought iron projects made over one hundred years ago.

Ask your fabricator to show you his selection of post caps. They are often reasonably priced and installing them doesn't add much more to the project, and your posts deserve it. Your posts really can showcase your iron design; think about implementing something out of the ordinary, to make your project extraordinary.
