Default Post And Rail Fence Question Re "Plastic "Caps" For Post Tops

Hello,

Have a typical Post and Rail fence setup around some of my lawn.
Round Posts, with the two rails between.
All round.

The wood is apparently Cedar, and has stood up pretty well over the years.
Bu the top of the posts really weathered badly.

I remember from many many years ago that they used to sell/use plastic
"caps" that would go over the very tops of these Posts.

Couldn't find any on Amazon, or elsewhere.

Do they still use them ?

Any idea who carries them ?

Thanks,
Bob

Try looking for end caps for pvc pipe if Dan's suggestion doesn't
work out.
