Product Description
Superior Outdoor Products Classic Vinyl Post Trim – 4", 6" & 8" Sizes in Multiple Colors
- Decorative base trim for vinyl posts — Classic post trim slides down over the bottom of the post sleeve to hide cut edges and gaps, creating a clean, finished look at the deck or porch surface.
- Multiple post sizes available — Offered for 4" and 6" vinyl posts in White, Almond, Clay, and Black, and for 8" vinyl posts in White, Almond, and Clay so you can trim standard and larger structural posts consistently.
- Coordinates with Superior railing systems — Designed to pair with Superior Outdoor Products vinyl posts, caps, and railings for a cohesive, professional-grade appearance.
- Helps conceal installation details — Trim rings help cover minor inconsistencies where posts meet the deck, porch, or landing and can help hide fasteners, shims, or small gaps at the base.
- Durable vinyl construction — Made from low-maintenance vinyl (PVC) that resists rot and peeling, so the base of each post looks neat with simple periodic cleaning.
- Sold individually — Order the exact number of trim pieces you need for line posts, corners, stair posts, and newel posts; posts, caps, and mounts are sold separately.
The Superior Outdoor Products Classic Vinyl Post Trim is the finishing touch that makes vinyl railing and porch posts look clean and intentional at the base. Each classic trim piece slides down over the post sleeve where it meets the deck, patio, or landing, helping cover cut edges, gap tolerances, and minor surface irregularities. Available for 4", 6", and 8" vinyl posts in a range of colors, it’s a simple, low-maintenance accessory that upgrades the overall appearance of your railing or fence project.

Installation
Verify your post sleeve size (4", 6", or 8") before selecting Classic post trim. Before installing railings, slide the trim piece over the top of the post sleeve and down to the base, or install it per Superior’s recommended sequence for your system. Set posts plumb, secure them per code, then seat the trim tight to the finished surface to conceal gaps and hardware at the bottom of the post.
Buying Guide
- Match trim size to post sleeve — Choose 4", 6", or 8" trim to match your vinyl post size for a snug, finished fit.
- Choose color to coordinate with your system — Select White, Almond, Clay, or Black (for 4" and 6"; White/Almond/Clay for 8") to match posts and railings.
- Plan one trim piece per post — Count line posts, corners, ends, stair posts, and newels to order the right quantity.
- Use Classic trim in visible locations — Especially helpful at deck edges, stairs, and entry posts where the base of the post is in direct view.
