Fence Installation

Cap & Trim Fence Installation

Cap and trim adds a horizontal cap board and trim to the top of a privacy fence. It hides picket ends, straightens the eye line and instantly reads as custom rather than stock.

What is included

A top cap running the length of each section, trim beneath it, and matching detail carried through the gates so nothing looks bolted on.

Best pairings

Cap and trim works on standard privacy and board-on-board alike, and looks especially strong stained dark against brick.

Frequently asked questions

Does a cap board help the fence last longer?
It sheds water off the picket end grain, which is where wood absorbs the most moisture, so it does help — in addition to looking better.
