All components are “Tandeck”, a recycled plastic lumber product. Made from 2 x 2 stock and 3/4″ x 5.5″ T & G stock, ripped as needed. Posts are (3) 2 x 4 s wrapped w/ Tandeck. Copper caps custom made 1/2″ larger than post for shadow. Rail cap is 1 x w/ groove left on for shadow eefect. Very durable stuff- I hope it is a 50 yr rail.
