CoverCap pole covers are designed to protect pole tops from decay and the effects of normal weathering. Manufactured from low-density polyethylene, they provide an inexpensive, durable, clean, and easy-to-use solution for combatting pole top decay. They are ideal for use on newly cut pole surfaces and reset poles.

Ordering Information CoverCap pole covers are available in five sizes and packaged 10 per carton.

To apply CoverCap pole covers, the installer will need four 2-inch alluminum or galvanized nails (not included). Drive one nail through each of the four “tabs” on the CoverCap to secure it to the top of the pole.

For additional protection or to arrest decay on in-service poles, apply pole topper fluid to the pole top prior to installation of the CoverCap.

Pole topper fluid (Hollow Heart® CB) is available in one-pint squeeze bottles for easy application and is a general-use preservative containing copper and boron.

CoverCap pole covers are circular and include a one-inch overlap and four one-inch tabs. Two circular ridges on the inside of the cap supply additional strength and allow for proper ventilation. CoverCap pole covers can be applied to new poles prior to setting or to poles already in service.
