STEP 14 – Tap on Post Cap
Once all of your Fence boards have been installed you can trim your fence posts if required
to approximately 2" above the height of your fence boards to allow for a 1" post cap collar
and 1" gap between the top of the fence board and the cap once installed. Once the tops of
the posts are all consistent just tap on the Tahoe Slipfence Post cap with a rubber mallet and
you are DONE!
TIPS
To trim aluminum fence posts you can use either a grinder with a metal blade, a Circular
Saw with a metal blade, or a reciprocating saw with a long metal blade long enough to go
through both sides of a 3" post or stringers. After cutting just file off the sharp edges and
spray stringer ends with rust inhibiting black outdoor paint.
There is also a new hand held metal band saw that works quite well too.
