Brella Fence Post Caps Maximize the Lifetime of Your Board Fence
Brella Fence Post Toppers, an innovative, patent-pending product made locally in the USA, maximizes the lifetime of wood fence posts by protecting them from the elements. Board fencing is a beautiful, but expensive investment for farms and home owners. Our Brella fence post caps protect your investment to ensure your board fencing maintains that elegant look and curb-side appeal for many years.
On average, fencing companies charge about $100 to replace a single 4×6 post used on board fencing. Rather than dealing with the ongoing maintenance costs of replacing pressure treated posts due to pre-mature wood rot, our Brella fence post caps are installed on the top of wood posts to tackle the “top” of the problem, greatly increasing the lifetime of your wood posts.
What is Board Fence Wood Rot?
The top end grain surface of fence posts are constantly exposed to the elements, and if not properly protected, will in most cases likely exhibit premature wood rot years before the expected life of the pressure-treated wood post.
Cracks develop on the top of wood posts which allows water to seep deep down into the post. During the winter, water freezes in these cracks, expanding the cracks even more. During the summer, water in these cracks promotes bacteria growth, resulting in wood rot. Eventually, the structural integrity of the post is totally compromised and the post must be replaced.
Applying paint or other commercially available surface treatment products on the top surface are only band-aid solutions which must be performed on a regular basis.
Wood rot will reduce the life expectancy of a pressure-treated wood post by as much as 2 times or more resulting in costly repairs and post replacement.
The ultimate solution is to simply mitigate water from making contact with the fence post top.
Brella Fence Post Caps Prevents End Grain Wood Rot

Frequently Asked Questions About Brella Fence Post Caps
What is my Return-On-Investment using Brella?
Lumber prices are projected to continue rising through 2025 due to high demand and potential tariffs. Based on current market research, board fencing companies charge a minimum of $100 or more to replace a single 4x6 wood post. Assuming a replacement cost of $100 per 4x6 post, Brella can protect a minimum of 25 4x6 posts. Quantity pricing can protect even more posts for this same replacement cost.
Wood posts are pressure-treated so why do I have to be concerned about wood rot?
Pressure treatment slows down the growth of fungi and bacteria that cause wood rot, but it doesn't eliminate it completely. The end grain of pressure-treated wood is susceptible to wood rot, even though it has been treated. The top end grain surface of fence posts are constantly exposed to the elements (sun/UV, rain, humidity, and freezing temperatures) and if not properly protected, will in most cases likely exhibit premature wood rot years before the expected life of the pressure-treated wood post. SCF Solutions encourages readers to do their own research regarding this matter.
What makes Brella unique and patent-pending?
Brella is the only post cap available on the market today specifically designed for post tops cut at an angle. Furthermore, the design features a “tail” that inherently self-adjusts to accommodate the post-to-post angle variances in which the post tops were cut.
If I don’t’ protect the top surface of my wood posts, how long will it take for them to exhibit signs of wood rot?
Depending on several variables, early signs of end grain wood rot may begin to occur as early as two years after installation. If the top surface of your post feels soft like a sponge after it has rained, this indicates early signs of wood rot.
Doesn’t painting my fence prevent top end grain wood rot?
Not entirely. Painting your fence on a regular basis is highly recommended as it does provide a barrier to moisture. However, water is a force of nature and can still penetrate the cracks in the top end grain surface leading to premature wood rot.
