Federal Cedar Post Trim by Nantucket
***Please read before ordering!!***
You want to measure your post before ordering! Put a tape measure up to the post and the actual size of your post will be the size you will order. A lot of 4x4 posts actually measure 3-1/2". And a 6x6 most commonly measures 5-1/2" actual width. However, there are 6x6's that measure a true 6" width and that measure an actual 5-3/4". So it is important to order the actual post size. We add 1/8" to that size and that will be the actual opening of the skirt. So if you order a 4" size, the actual opening will be 4-1/8" to guarantee a fit on an actual 4" post. Please send any questions before ordering.

About this product…
As its name implies, the Nantucket Cedar Post Trim Dressing imparts a charmingly rustic refinement to any project you’re working on.
Post trims are pieces of material that wrap around the bottom of your posts in order to bridge the gap between your columns and your decking. Post trims can offer more cohesion or an aesthetically pleasing transition from the materials of your columns to the materials of your decking. These products are made from Vermont-grown cedar by artisans with many years of experience in their trade, offering a unique and high-quality option. For an extra layer of protection, or for aesthetic customization, you may opt to coat the post trim in a stain or paint.
Cedar is a fantastic material to use for a deck post trim, as cedar wood is naturally resistant to mildew and mold. The low density of cedar wood also means that it is less likely than other woods to warp, swell, twist, or cup in any way. These factors are especially important when working on outdoor projects, where the post trim will be continually exposed to the elements.
These are easily installable, only needing construction adhesive to bring the look together; one quick home improvement that will transform your whole space. The base trim is constructed as a two-piece unit, and is available in both square and rectangular models and a variety of sizes, which makes it easy to add to existing posts. To install, first apply any exterior-grade construction adhesive to the inside of the three-sided section and slide it around the post. Next, apply the same adhesive to the fourth side of the unit and slide it into place. Within minutes, you now have a natural looking trim fit for your beautifully finished deck. Plus, you’ll save yourself stress over service and maintenance of your Deckorators trims with our lifetime limited warranty.
Cedar Post Trim Installation Instructions:
The base post trim comes pre-assembled, with three sides joined together and a separate fourth side. To install, follow these two easy steps:
-
Apply an exterior-grade construction adhesive to the inside of the three-sided section and slide it firmly around the post
-
Apply an exterior-grade construction adhesive to the inside of the remaining piece and slide into place
