Description
A neat stepped cover for the foot of 40 x 40mm box section. This pressed steel cover plate is 90mm square and about 30mm tall, formed from 1mm steel into stepped square tiers like a low pyramid. A 40 x 40mm square opening in the top slides down over the post and the cover sits flat on the ground, hiding the base plate, bolts and any rough concrete or resin around the foot. The price shown is for one cover plate, with a minimum order of 15.
Why choose this cover plate
Hides the base plate and bolts. A bolted-down post looks unfinished. This cover slips over the fixing and gives a clean, stepped finish.
Made for 40mm box section. The square opening suits 40 x 40mm posts, the most common size for garden fences and gates.
Light and easy to fit. At about 0.08 kg it is held with a bead of exterior adhesive or a couple of small tack welds.
Ready to paint. Paint or powder coat it with the post so the two read as one.
Where it is used
The feet of garden fence posts, gate posts, balustrade and handrail posts fixed to patios, paths and decks in 40 x 40mm box section.

Fitting and care
Slide the cover down the post before the top is capped or fixed. Let it sit flat on the ground, then hold it with a bead of exterior adhesive or two or three small tack welds at the top edge.
Degrease, prime and paint, or powder coat with the post. Ask us before hot-dip galvanising, as thin 1mm pressings can distort in the zinc bath.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one cover plate?
Yes, it is for one cover plate, with a minimum order of 15.
Will it cover my base plate?
It covers a base plate that fits inside its 90mm square footprint. Measure your base plate first.
Can I fit it after the post is up?
Only if the top of the post is still open. It has to slide down from the top.
Is it structural?
No. It is a 1mm decorative cover. The post's own base plate and fixings carry the load.
