Looks good. I had copper HomeDepot caps on my fence, they all looked discolored and shitty after the sun hit them. They weren't cheap either. Hopefully you are smarter than me. Not sure if all copper will do this or just the thin HD ones, anyone know? I'm curious myself.
I replaced them all with these, which are well designed with the snap-on feature of the top piece. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Anyone know anything about cable for fencing? Some of it's super expensive, I bought this cable sheathed in plastic at Home Depot. it used all be silver like in part of this pic, then the sun steamed up the inside of plastic and rusted it out, now it looks shitty.
Any cheap to moderately expensive ideas out there? What does it need to be made of so it holds up to moisture anyways?

Or, if you don't have a kidney to spare, you can also consider galvanized utility panel, available at any farm supply store. 4" squares of welded wire that can be cut to any size. Makes a decent see-through railing that seems like it might be a reasonable fit with your treated 4x4 aesthetic.
Like so: https://www.murdochs.com/products/li...utility-panel/
You can also just get galvanized wire, but I am not how well it will stand up outside, long-term.

Spools of stainless are all over eBay, and not too pricey.

An easy way to keep the wire tensioned is a good idea, you'll be amazed how much difference heat and sun can make in how the wire looks. They're pretty cheap. I don't know about this brand but this si the idea: https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Han...=fsclp_pl_dp_1
There's also systems where you can't see the tensioner, they get built into the posts, but they're more expensive and not as easy to install.
