I was pleasantly surprised at how sturdy this chimney cap is when I took it out of the box. It is much nicer than the deteriorated 15 year old one that it has replaced, and it installed in a few minutes with one screwdriver. We have had some very strong winds and heavy rain in the midwest this spring and it has not budged since I put it on. The house has two other chimneys and when those caps need replacing I will stick with this brand.

I've had problems finding a chimney cap for round clay flue tiles. They are difficult to find at the home improvement stores. So I was delighted to find caps on Amazon. It is well constructed and fits perfectly. FYI there is room for adjustment so it should work for slightly larger tiles. In summary, I don't know if I could find a better chimney cap.
Best Deals for Chimney 14850 HomeSaver Pro Chimney Cap For Round Clay Flue Tiles
At some point after our home was built 40 years ago, the previous owner had new flues installed (3 of them) in the very large field stone chimney that is in the center of the house. Unfortunately when the flue for the wood-burning stove was installed it was placed flush with the chimney crown, placing it at the same level as the two fire place flue "openings." The entire chimney was then covered with a large chimney cap with side mesh. Since we use the wood-burning stove to supplement our heating system during some very cold northeast winters, cresote buildup was always an issue even though we use Anti-Creosote religiously. My husband redid the crown and replaced the large chimney cap with a smaller one that fit over just the two fireplce flues, raised the "problem" flue with a clay chimney pipe and placed the adjustable Chimney 14850 Homesaver Pro Chimey Cap on it. Although the entire project took him several days, putting the Pro Chimney Cap on took less than 30 minutes! Although we haven't used the stove yet we are confident our creosote problems (and safety problems) are over. He did a lot of research into what type of cap would work best for us and was within our budget. Both of us are pleased we chose this one.
