Abstract

A fence post cap is provided which is formed from plastic materials and having a fastener support member, which resists cap deformation during application of the fastener and includes fluid sealing portions about the fastener, and locating studs adjacent the perimeter sides of the cap to facilitate positive seating of the cap on the fence post. The plastic material can be molded in any desired color to match or contrast the fence color. The fastener is received within a counter bore such that the fastener head is more isolated from inadvertent contact after installation.
