Fence capping wood protects the upper edge of a timber fence while giving the elevation a consistent finish. The listed Ever Art Wood® Batten End Caps by Covet suit batten fence tops, providing a neat, durable detail at exposed ends and directing water away from the cut grain.

Fence Capping

Fence tops should be assessed against post spacing, batten dimensions and the fence fall before capping is specified. Ever Art Wood® Batten End Caps by Covet can be considered where the cap must align with a repeated batten profile instead of sitting as a broad horizontal board.

Fencing capping also affects the junction between the fence and adjoining gates, retaining walls or landscaping. Ever Art Wood® Batten End Caps by Covet provide a reference for resolving these junctions, including the clearance required for gate movement and the finish at exposed corners.

What is stone capping used for on a fence?

Stone capping is generally used on masonry or rendered fence piers and walls, rather than on a lightweight timber batten fence. Check the substrate, cap weight and drainage detail before using it.

How should fence capping wood be fixed?

Select fixings suited to the timber or composite material, and prevent water from sitting at joints. Follow the product installation instructions, allowing for movement and retaining any required edge clearance.

When is fencing capping needed?

Fencing capping is useful where the top edge is exposed to weather, cut ends are visible or adjoining panels require a continuous finish. Confirm the cap profile against the fence system before setting post and batten heights.
