The kit also comes with a 2-piece post skirt to hide the base and a decorative cap to cover the top to finish your railing. A base plate is welded to the bottom of the post for easier mounting. Wedges are included to level and stabilize the post when installing. Post is high-strength aluminum with a durable powder-coat finish that’s thicker and harder than typically baked enamel coatings and exceeds AAMA 2604 standards.
