Deck Postcovers are durable with look and feel of real masonry

Thursday, December 9, 2010 by Chris Fox

Deckorators, creator of the Postcover, has launched a new and improved cast stone Postcover deck railing accessory line that boasts the look and feel of real masonry.

Deckorators Cast Stone Postcover mimics the look and feel of real stone columns, and is made of glass-fiber reinforced concrete for increased strength and superior protection against the elements. The Deckorators Deckorators cast stone PostcoversPostcover is designed to coordinate well with wood, composite or vinyl deck railing, wood deck columns and fence posts. Postcovers are hand-painted and come in three unique styles: Gray Cobblestone, Gray Fieldstone and Beige Stacked Stone. All-new cast stone post caps (sold separately) complete the personalized look. Deckorators Postcover caps

The 8x8 Postcover is easy to install over deck and fence posts, and is available in 42” or 53” heights. It secures directly to 4x4 or 6x6 cedar or pressure treated wood posts with shims, and ties into the deck’s rails using a rail connector. Deckorators Postcover carries a 15-year warranty against cracking, splitting or warping.

Our new Postcover line offers three realistic options for adding design detail to any deck railing. The Postcover will also help create an inviting entrance on a porch or add a decorative touch to a mailbox, fence post or other design feature. The Deckorators Postcover is innovative and low-maintenance, and costs much less than real stone. Incorporating Postcovers allows homeowners and builders to add a touch of affordable sophistication into their deck design.

I would like to know if the masonry postcovers can be cut and stacked to use as fence posts for a 6'-0" high fence.

Tim, thanks for your question. There would be a visible seem in a stacked stone postcover if you cut and stack them on top one another. You may be able to customize a small transition piece / band that fits in between the postcovers for your fence post. Since Deckorators offers a 53-inch postcover your seem can be low to the ground (about 1.5 feet off the ground) This type of treatment may have a unique and attractive look. Please let us know how your fence project turns out.

i was wondering if any of your railing poducts are ever used indoors

Rob, thanks for the question. I know people have used them for interior applications in the past. However, consult with your local building code official for code compliance. We cannot certify Deckorators brand products meet building codes for interior use. We can only provide testing data for use in exterior applications.

was wondering if this could be used on 6x6 post that are 15 feet tall, would like to decorate the look of these post that are holding up the deck, if not what can I use

Peggy, the Deckorators Postcovers are not specifically designed to be stacked. However, I encourage you to go to you nearest stocking dealer and see them for yourself. Each Postcover has a nice flat surface for adhering multiple columns together and the seam is hardly noticeable. It will stake some carpentry skills to custom fit.
