Alpenrose Post Cap
Alpenrose Post Cap
Inspired by the timeless beauty of the Austrian Alps, the Alpenrose Post Cap combines graceful curves with a classic silhouette to create a decorative finishing touch for timber posts. A gently curved base rises to a refined pyramid, crowned with a traditional sphere that gives the design a sense of balance, elegance and craftsmanship.
Whether you're restoring a historic Victorian, adding character to a Colonial-style home, or enhancing a traditional garden fence, the Alpenrose Post Cap brings a distinctive European-inspired aesthetic that never goes out of style.
Like all Ledro House post caps, the Alpenrose is proudly made in the USA and crafted to order. Manufactured from durable exterior-grade material, it is supplied ready for you to paint in the color of your choice. We recommend using a quality exterior paint to achieve a long-lasting finish that complements your home.

The Alpenrose Post Cap is where traditional European design meets American craftsmanship, creating a refined architectural detail that will elevate your home for years to come.
Designed to slip over the top of your post, the Alpenrose Post Cap creates a clean, finished look that enhances both traditional and transitional fence styles. Each cap is engineered with a small internal clearance so it seats snugly over the post for a professional finish.
Choosing your size
In the US, a post's name and its actual measurement are often different, so measure before you order:
- Measure flat across one face of the post — not corner to corner.
- Measure near the top of the post, where it hasn't swollen from ground moisture.
- Order the size that matches your measured dimension.
Keep in mind that a wood 4x4 is usually planed down to a true 3-1/2", and a wood 6x6 is really 5-1/2", while vinyl, composite and rough-sawn posts are typically true to name. If in doubt, measure — it's the only way to be sure.
