Does anyone make 5 1/2" square PVC posts...

with 1/4" inch walls?

Good to hear you are just planning to work with plastic today.

4x4 and a case of duct tape should work.

Is this what you are talking about?

Those are 5" square posts, and the wall width is only 1/10th of an inch.

are you trying to decorate your bollards? you want something to hide a 6x6? how about paint?

There are 6x6 sleeves in the list, you'll just have to filter for them.
Sounds like you have a 6x6 post which is actually 5 1/2 in. I don't think
you are going to find a sleeve that is going to fill it out to a square 6". You might find some 1/4 PVC flats that you could fabricate into a sleeve or just glue/fasten to the post but, damn that'd be a lot of work.

Just put in a request Larry.....I'm sure the whole industry will happily accommodate your request to retool their factories for an oddball size to keep you happy and them out of court! :rofl:

The PVC posts are for the wought iron fence I bought. I need two more posts for the design I want. I went to a metal fabricator, and he wanted $400+ for each post! I can reinforce PVC to make it work.

I'm determined to do this project myself; I'm foregoing welding in favor of bolts. So far I've wire-brushed 16' of 32' and applied rust-killer. That iron is heavy!

Azek makes one in white.

Can it be painted?

Darn near anything can be painted. Might need a scuff first, or some of that chemical bonding primer.

Maybe they already make one in black

They look to be too expensive for the OP though.

That one's for a 4x4.

I'm after a true 5 1/2" square post (not nominal). I already have some 1/4" PVC strips that I can glue around the top of the post to fit a 5 1/2" cap.

[ZipZap]

I still don't know exactly what you want. The one pictured will go over a 6x6, which is 5.5 x 5.5 finished. They'll run $125 each or so, plus the wood post.

So you want the outside dimension to be 5.5 x 5.5? Azek makes one that fits over a 4x4.

You can also find post "wraps" that allow some amount of customization.
