Product Description
Superior Outdoor Products 6" Federation Vinyl Post Trim – Choose Your Color
- Elegant crown-molding style base trim — Federation post trim features a tiered, decorative profile that echoes classic crown molding, turning a simple 6" vinyl post into a more upscale architectural detail.
- Made for 6" x 6" vinyl posts — Sized specifically for true 6" x 6" vinyl posts, this trim neatly covers the transition where the post meets the deck, porch, patio, or stair landing.
- Color-matched post accent — Available in White, Almond, Clay, and Black to coordinate with standard Superior vinyl railing and post colors for a cohesive, finished look.
- Durable, USA-made vinyl construction — Manufactured in the USA from high-quality virgin PVC, this trim is designed for long-term outdoor use and resists rot, peeling, and moisture.
- Perfect for high-visibility posts — The decorative Federation profile adds extra visual interest at entry posts, stair newels, corner posts, and other focal points where details matter.
- Trim only for flexible layouts — Sold as a post-trim piece so you can order exactly what you need for each 6" vinyl post; posts, caps, and mounts are purchased separately.
The Superior Outdoor Products 6" Federation Vinyl Post Trim gives 6" x 6" vinyl posts a refined, finished base with the look of traditional crown molding. Instead of leaving cut post ends and hardware exposed, this decorative trim slides down to the base of the post to conceal minor gaps and installation tolerances while adding a tiered, architectural accent. Available in White, Almond, Clay, and Black, it pairs perfectly with Superior vinyl railing systems and is a popular choice for front porches, deck stairs, and feature posts where an elevated, elegant appearance is important.
Why Choose This Federation Post Trim
- Decorative upgrade over plain trim — Federation’s sculpted, multi-step profile provides more visual depth than basic flat or plain trim rings.
- Consistent look with Federation caps — Use Federation trim together with matching Federation post caps to create a coordinated top-and-bottom accent on 6" vinyl posts.
- Great for premium railing and porch designs — Ideal for projects where posts frame entryways, stairs, or outdoor living spaces and you want those bases to feel more like finished millwork.
- Low-maintenance finish detail — Vinyl construction means no sanding, repainting, or sealing of wood skirts—just occasional cleaning with mild soap and water.

Installation
Confirm that your posts are true 6" x 6" vinyl sleeves compatible with Superior’s Federation trim before ordering. During installation, slide the Federation trim over the top of the post sleeve (or follow Superior’s recommended sequence for your railing system) and lower it to the base once the post is set plumb and secured. Seat the trim tightly against the deck, porch, or stair surface so the contoured profile hides cut edges and creates a uniform base line across all visible posts.
Buying Guide
- Choose Federation for maximum visual impact — Use Federation trim on highly visible 6" posts, such as entry, stair, and corner posts, where the decorative crown-molding look will stand out.
- Match your color scheme — Select White, Almond, Clay, or Black to coordinate with your Superior railing, posts, and caps or to create a subtle contrast at the base.
- Plan one trim per 6" post — Count each 6" line, corner, stair, and newel post in your layout to determine the number of Federation trim pieces required.
- Combine with other trim styles as needed — Use Federation trim at feature posts and pair with Plain or Modular trim on less visible posts if you want to balance budget and aesthetics.

Comparison
| Option | Key Strengths | Best Fit |
