Give your color chain link fence a neat, professional finish with color pressed-steel dome caps. The low-profile dome design dresses the post top and helps keep moisture and debris out. Choose Black, Brown, or Green to blend with common color systems across fabric, framework, and fittings. Because coatings and aging vary, we can not guarantee an exact color match with an existing fence—always verify appearance on-site.
Why Choose This
- Durable — Pressed steel + galvanized base with powder topcoat
- Field-friendly — Quick press-fit saves time on every post
- Flexible usage — Use on terminals/corners/gates and on line posts without top rail
- Color continuity — Blends with standard Black/Green/Brown chain link systems

Installation
Confirm post O.D. and select the matching cap. Ensure the post top is round and free of burrs. Place the cap over the post and tap with a rubber mallet (or hammer with a wood block) until fully seated. If the fit is loose due to slight ovaling/wear, lightly crimp the post top or use a thin bead of exterior-grade sealant to improve grip.
Buying Guide
- Select by post O.D.: Match the cap size to your post’s actual outside diameter (see Specifications).
- Line posts: Dome caps are fine on line posts where you’re not running top rail. If you’ll run top rail, use color loop caps (eye-tops).
- Color expectations: Finishes are intended to blend with common Black/Green/Brown systems; exact color matches aren’t guaranteed due to manufacturer, batch, and weathering differences.
- Steel vs. aluminum: Steel caps are rugged and economical; aluminum caps are rust-proof and lighter (silver finish).
Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these exactly match my fence color?
- They’re formulated to blend with common Black, Brown, and Green chain link systems, but exact matches aren’t guaranteed.
- Can I use these on line posts?
- Yes—on line posts without top rail. For top rail, choose color loop caps (eye-tops).
- Do I need hardware?
- No. Caps are press-fit; a rubber mallet helps seat them securely.
- Will these rust?
- The galvanized base plus powder topcoat are corrosion-resistant; if the coating is damaged, exposed steel can rust over time.
- What sizes are available?
- 1-5/8″, 2″, 2-1/2″, 3″, and 4″ O.D. post sizes (see weights above).
