Re: what is this metal cap for?

Hi @EmilyD,

 

Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

 

This metal plate is called an Ant Cap and they are there to act as a physical barrier to help prevent termites from climbing up the brick pier and transferring onto the timber beam above.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.

 

Jacob
