Hi, I'm trying to find a UK supplier for a metal capping to go over a
7x7in 4 way pointed gate post, to a) finish it off and b) stop water
pouring into the checks forming in the top of the post. I would like
either a plain old galvanised finish or possibly copper

Lead is typically used for such a fitting, though I'd reckon that copper
could be just as good, though a bit harder to get fitted correctly.
I doubt there are suppliers that make such a thing, as all fence posts
are marginally different sizes, you'd need to buy a sheet, and
bend/hammer it into shape.

Thanks. Any idea how would you make sure the inevitable joins were
watertight?
