Simpson Strong Tie APDPC4 Decorative Post Cap 4 in

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE APDPC4 is a decorative black post cap designed to fit 4-inch posts in outdoor structural applications. It serves a dual purpose: protecting exposed post tops from moisture intrusion and decay while delivering a clean, finished appearance. The cap is sold in a package of 25 units, making it well suited for contractors and builders working on multi-post fence lines, deck perimeters, and similar projects. Its robust construction supports long-term performance in exposed exterior environments.

This post cap is used on 4-inch fence posts, deck posts, and similar outdoor timber or composite columns. It is a practical solution for residential and light commercial projects where post-top protection and finished aesthetics are both required. Installers typically apply these caps at the final stage of post installation, after framing and fastening are complete. The black finish works across a range of exterior color schemes and landscaping styles.
