Fits a “nominal” 6x6 post
I’m a retired home builder with lots of hands on carpentry experience. After 22 years I needed a replacement for one of my post caps which was beginning to rot. These are the exact same ones, made of very high quality cedar, tight mitered corners and perfectly square. I add a semi mushroom shaped cedar ball to finish off the top but these are also fine If you just want a flat cap. However Deckorators still uses “contractor speak” in describing it as a 6” x 6” cap. Many folks understand that this is a nominal measurement and actually describes a cap for a 5 1/2” square post. So a “6x6” pressure treated post will actually measure 5 1/2 x 5 1/2”. Same thing as a 2x4 is actually 1 1/2” x 3 1/2” etc. or what is referred to as the dressed measurement. So MEASURE YOUR POST FIRST.The flat part on top is 5 1/4” square and the opening for the post is actually 5 5/8” square x 1 3/8” deep.Also, if you intend to paint them with a latex water base paint, be sure to prime first with an OIL based primer like Kills which will accept a latex top coat because the tannins in cedar may bleed through the water based latex. All in all, a great product sold by the higher end supply houses.

Beautiful Design and Well-Made
Well, I haven't installed them yet. That's why I haven't responded to your request for a review. These are very well-made post caps, and I will install them after we push the posts down to where they should be located in the ground. It seems that winter has a way of freezing up posts. So as soon as we finish that job, we'll attach the caps with small screws so they can be easily removed if needed. They will be white when we attach them which will match our 2000-foot fence. I'll even include a photo.

Perfect fit!
I purchased these to replace the old post caps on an exterior deck stairway and they fit the 6 x 6 posts perfectly. A little snug, but that was a good thing. Cedar is another advantage as they will last a long time when properly maintained and they look great!Very happy!
