Then last year the posts started to split and splinter; one by one.  Over the next few months I had the painstaking job of replacing every post on my fence, but this time I have placed the post caps on the top as I should have the first time around.  After seeing the damage that was done by leaving the top exposed I now understand the value of the caps.  I have been converted and now am a believer in the power of the post cap.  The best selection I found was on BEVO Works and I highly recommend them.
