The copper fence post caps arrived today and they were easily installed with some construction adhesive. I purchased them from an online, family owned sheet metal manufacturer. They were reasonably priced for real copper caps.
The lower posts have .5" caps, a bit smaller than what I've used in the past, with a slightly tighter fit.
The taller central posts have 2" caps that were not too tight and easily slid down the post.
Because of the extra 1.5" they look more dramatic than the caps on the smaller post.
At this time the copper is nice and shiny, but it wont last. These are real copper, so they will patina very quickly, more like a brownish color, similar to previous caps used elsewhere within the garden.
The flat tops work well with the Japanese esthetic I was trying to achieve. Overall, I am very pleased with the look of the caps, and the fence in general. The Dragon's Spine fence is now complete.
Now its time to start reworking the bed with a different arrangement of old and new plants.
