Description
The CP100 50mm Post Cover Plate is a pressed aluminium finishing cover designed to provide a clean, professional finish around the base of compatible 50mm stand-alone aluminium posts.
Designed to complement the BP100 square base plate and AE413 50mm plain post system, the CP100 fits over the base plate area to conceal the structural mounting plate and fixings from view.
It is the ideal finishing accessory when manufacturing your own stand-alone posts for pool fencing, privacy screens, aluminium fencing and other custom fabrication applications.
◻️ Clean Finished Appearance
Once a stand-alone post has been secured to the mounting surface, the structural base plate and anchors can remain visible.
The CP100 provides a neat cover around this area, creating a much cleaner finished appearance.
This is particularly beneficial for highly visible installations such as:
- Pool fencing
- Privacy screens
- Front fencing
- Courtyard screens
- Aluminium slat fencing
- Architectural screening
- Residential fencing
🔩 Designed to Conceal the Base Plate
The CP100 is a finishing component rather than a structural part of the post.
Its purpose is to cover the base plate and mounting area after installation, helping conceal the structural fixings used to secure the post.
This provides a more refined appearance than leaving the mounting hardware exposed.
🧩 Part of the Custom Flanged Post System
The CP100 works perfectly as part of the custom stand-alone post system we’ve matched together.
A typical post assembly consists of:
- AE413 50mm Plain Aluminium Post
- BP100 / BPL100 Square Base Plate
- CP100 50mm Post Cover Plate
- Compatible 50mm Post Cap
- Base-to-post screws
- Suitable structural anchors
The result is a custom-height, surface-mounted aluminium post with a clean finished base.
🏗️ Finish Your Own Stand-Alone Posts
When manufacturing a custom stand-alone post, the plain aluminium extrusion is cut to the required height and attached to the compatible base plate.
The completed assembly is then structurally anchored to the mounting surface.
Once installation is complete, the CP100 is used to dress the base of the post and conceal the mounting area.
This provides the appearance of a purpose-made flanged post while retaining the flexibility of manufacturing the post at the exact height required.
📐 Designed for 50mm Post Systems
The CP100 forms part of the manufacturer’s 50mm aluminium post system.
The same range includes the AE413 50mm plain post, BP100 aluminium screw-on base plate and compatible 50mm post caps.
This makes it easy to assemble a coordinated post system using matching components.
🪟 Perfect for Privacy Screens
The CP100 is an excellent finishing accessory for custom aluminium privacy-screen posts.
Typical applications include:
- Aluminium slat screens
- Privacy screens
- Decorative screens
- Courtyard screens
- Boundary screens
- Equipment screens
- Architectural screening
The cover plate helps provide a finished appearance at the bottom of each surface-mounted post.
🏊 Ideal for Pool Fencing Posts
The AE413 plain post is specifically listed by the manufacturer for making custom flanged posts for pool fencing and privacy screens, with the CP100 cover plate included within the same 50mm post hardware system.
When used around a pool fence, the CP100 provides a neat way of concealing the base mounting hardware.
The cover plate itself is decorative and does not contribute to the structural performance or compliance of the pool barrier.
🪶 Pressed Aluminium Construction
The CP100 is manufactured from pressed aluminium.
This provides a lightweight and corrosion-resistant finishing component suitable for outdoor aluminium fencing and screening systems.
The manufacturer lists the CP100 at approximately:
- Weight: 0.034kg
- Material: Aluminium
- Construction: Pressed aluminium
🌦️ Suitable for Outdoor Applications
Aluminium provides excellent natural corrosion resistance, making the CP100 suitable for permanent outdoor applications.
Typical uses include:
- Pool areas
- Residential fencing
- Garden fencing
- Privacy screens
- Courtyard screens
- Aluminium fencing
- Architectural screening
🎨 Match Your Post Finish
The CP100 is available within the manufacturer’s aluminium fencing range in multiple finish options, allowing the cover plate to coordinate with compatible posts and fencing components.
Select the required finish from the available product options above.
Matching the post and cover plate provides a much cleaner and more integrated finished appearance.
🛠️ Finishing Accessory for Fabricators
For installers and fabricators making their own stand-alone posts, the CP100 is a simple component that can make a significant difference to the finished appearance.
Rather than leaving structural anchors and the base plate exposed, the cover provides a neat transition between the aluminium post and mounting surface.
This makes it particularly useful for professionally finished residential and architectural installations.

⚠️ Please Note
This product is the CP100 aluminium post cover plate only unless otherwise stated.
The aluminium post, base plate, post cap, structural anchors and other installation hardware are sold separately.
The CP100 is a finishing cover and is not a structural component.
It does not replace the BP100 / BPL100 base plate and must not be relied upon to secure the post to the mounting surface.
The post and base plate must be correctly installed and structurally anchored before the cover plate is used to finish the installation.
Where the post forms part of a swimming pool barrier, the complete post, base plate, anchors and fencing system must comply with applicable Australian Standards and local pool-safety requirements.
