Product Information
Full details
The DuraPost Corner Post Cover Plate is an essential accessory for homeowners and contractors using DuraPost bolt-down corner systems who want to achieve a clean, professional finish. By concealing exposed base plates and mounting hardware, this cover plate provides a polished aesthetic while protecting critical fixings from debris and environmental weathering. While it is specifically engineered for a precise fit on DuraPost corner posts, users should ensure they are installing it on a compatible bolt-down base to avoid misalignment.

FAQs
Does this cover plate work on non-DuraPost fencing?
This product is specifically designed for the DuraPost system and may not fit securely on other brands of fence posts.
Can I paint this cover plate to match a different fence color?
While the material may accept outdoor-grade metal paint, the factory finish is designed for durability; check compatibility before applying any aftermarket coatings.
Is this for use on concrete-in posts?
No, this cover is specifically intended for bolt-down corner posts.
Will the grey color fade over time?
The product is manufactured for outdoor durability, though some minor weathering is normal after prolonged exposure to intense UV light.
Do I need screws to attach the cover?
The plate is designed for a precision fit over the base assembly; typically, no additional screws are required.
Troubleshooting
Cover plate does not sit flush against the concrete base
Check for concrete 'nibs' or excess debris trapped underneath; clear the area and ensure the post base is clear.
The cover plate feels loose after installation
Verify that the specific bolt-down post model you are using is the correct size intended for this cover plate.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your bolt-down post is fully secured and leveled. The cover plate is designed to slide over the base plate assembly. Ensure that no excess debris or grout is obstructing the area where the cover plate meets the concrete. For care, keep the surface clean by wiping it with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive scouring pads, as these may scratch the finish and expose the material to potential weathering. Periodically check that the cover remains securely in place during high-wind events.
