Post Covers Features & Benefits
Our high-quality aluminum and vinyl post covers are designed to provide a maintenance-free finish for new wood post construction or to enhance older, structurally sound wood posts on porches or decks. They add beauty and durability to your home for years to come, without the need for painting or sealing.
We offer a variety of options to fit your needs:
- Vinyl Post Wraps – Also called post cladding, these wrap existing wood posts with vinyl for a clean, low-maintenance finish.
- Aluminum Post Wraps – Similar to vinyl wraps, aluminum post cladding provides a sleek, durable cover for structurally sound wooden posts.
- Vinyl Versawrap – A single piece of cellular PVC with pre-mitered grooves that wraps around new or existing posts and is glued together for a seamless look.
- Vinyl Post Sleeves – Designed for new deck or porch posts, these sleeves provide a finished, low-maintenance vinyl exterior.
- Aluminum Post Sleeves – Used on new wooden posts to provide a polished, durable aluminum finish that pairs well with aluminum or vinyl railing.
Common sizes include 4x4 and 6x6 deck and porch post covers, making it easy to find the perfect fit for your project.

Post Covers and Posts FAQs
Is there a difference between post caps and post covers?
Yes, a post cap is the decorative topper that sits strictly on the very top of a post to keep water out and add style (or lighting). A post cover (or sleeve/wrap) is a hollow column or four-piece system that covers the entire vertical length of a structural wood or steel post from the ground up to protect it and make it match the rest of your system.
Can you wrap deck posts?
Yes, wrapping deck posts is one of the best ways to instantly upgrade an old deck. If you can't slide a one-piece sleeve over a post because the roof or railing is already attached, you can use a multi-piece wrap system (like Versawrap) that snaps together around the existing post.
What is Versawrap made of?
Versawrap is made of cellular PVC. It features unique pre-mitered grooves with a friction-lock joint, allowing a single piece to fold perfectly around a structural wood post, creating a seamless, clean look that mimics custom millwork without open seams that can collect water.
Do porch posts need to be anchored?
Yes, porch posts are load-bearing structures that hold up roofs or overhangs. They must be securely anchored at the bottom to a solid concrete footing or structural framing using heavy-duty, code-approved metal anchors. This keeps the post from shifting due to wind uplift or structural settling, ensuring your porch remains safe and level.
