ABSTRACT:
A post assembly and method of capping a post, especially useful for pilings, e.g., as used for docks and the like. A covering over a post end is comprised of an outer cover and a semi-rigid, energy-absorptive, predominantly closed-cell body of foamed synthetic resin that adheres the cover. The cover is comprised of an end plate and a surrounding skirt. The skirt is formed of an extruded strip with a longitudinal groove that receives the periphery of the plate when the strip is wrapped about the plate. Ends of the strip abut each other and are sealed. Preferably the skirt terminates in an inwardly extending inclined flange that closely encircles the pole to form a beveled lower edge to the outer cover. The cover is resistant to abrasion, impact and ultraviolet deterioration. The foamed resin fills and seals all voids in the end of the post to prevent moisture from entering and deteriorating the post, and cushions and supports the cap to inhibit cracking or puncturing of the cap from impacts in use.
