XL Colonial Finial

Product Description The XL Colonial Finial by Nantucket Post Cap. The largest Colonial finial, sized for a 5-1/2 inch post, available with grooves or smooth (without grooves).

Preparation & Installation — from the manufacturer, Nantucket Post Cap. Preparation: All wood post cap finials are constructed of laminated clear redwood and western red cedar. They should be sealed before installation with an oil-based primer, paint, stain, or preservative to ensure a long life. All finials must have a proper sealer and/or paint applied to prevent cracking. Installation: Finials are pre-drilled and are shipped with lag screws for easy installation after sealing. Insert the screw first into the base of the finial using a pair of pliers around the smooth section (not the threads). Then thread the finial (with the mounted lag screw) into the wood post. Pre-drilling the top is optional and may aid in the installation. Exterior caulking material can be applied to the base to ensure a tight fit if desired.
