Installation
Confirm that your vinyl post sleeve measures approximately 4" square on the outside before ordering this King cap. After posts are installed plumb, cut to consistent height, and any post trim is in place, press-fit or install the King cap on top of the post sleeve following Superior’s installation guidance. Keeping all post heights consistent along each run ensures the decorative King caps line up evenly for a professional, finished appearance.

- Match the post size — This listing is for 4" King caps; always verify your post sleeve size before ordering to ensure a proper fit.
- Coordinate with other cap styles — Many projects mix King caps on feature posts with simpler flat or New England caps on line posts for a balanced look.

Comparison
| Option | Key Strengths | Best Fit |
| Superior 4" King Cap (this product) | Tall, finial-style crown shape that creates a strong decorative statement on feature posts. | Gate, stair, corner, and entry posts where you want maximum visual impact. |
| Superior Ball Cap | Classic rounded ball profile for a traditional accent without as much height as a King cap. | Decorative posts where you want a softer, more classic look. |
| Superior New England Cap | Stepped, traditional profile that looks architectural but more understated than a finial. | Projects aiming for a classic “finished” appearance on most or all posts. |
| Superior Flat Cap | Clean, low-profile top that keeps attention on the railing lines instead of the post caps. | Long runs of line posts or modern designs where subtlety is preferred. |
