Unpopular opinion: Ornamental fence toppers are more trouble than they're worth after my squirrel incident.
Honestly, trying to add decorative finials to a client's picket fence led to a whole family of squirrels setting up camp in them, and now I'm the neighborhood squirrel relocation expert.

Seriously, @noahmartin, wire mesh just redirects the problem instead of solving it. Those determined squirrels will just chew into the eaves or attic next. The fancy toppers basically become a welcome sign pointing to your house.

That whole squirrel relocation expert thing you mentioned is too real! Once squirrels move in, it's like they own the place. I feel for you, dealing with that mess after just trying to make a fence look nice.
