chimney pot cap/rain guard help

[bgermain1689]

Maybe someone here can help me.

Im working on putting an insert (clydesdale) in my living room. everything fits and is good to go except that my chimney has decorative chimney pots with no cap. The dealer im working with said once the liner is in i'll need a rain guard.

I'm looking for options as to what I can use for a cap. I really don't want to remove the pots, they are a large part of the aesthetics of the home. I've been unable to find other pots that look like mine online. I have no idea who made them, other clay/terracotta caps look like they probably wont fit. I thought maybe I could even find someone to make me some custom ones but no luck yet.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Here is what they look like:

I think you’d need to find somebody with a pottery kiln and go to them with a plan.

Yea, this might end up being the way.

It will definitely need rain sealing, but this can be painted so as not to detract. The cap may need to be custom fabricated at a good metal shop. Check out Superior Tile and their rain guards for ideas.

Thanks! Yea i emailed them and they said they don’t make anything close to the shape of mine and the best i could do was try one of their square ones.

Where in the country are you located? A good custom metal working shop may be the answer.
