Abstract
A well pipe end cap attached to the top of a well pipe extending from the ground. The well pipe end cap includes a platform for supporting lawn decorations or accessory items. Items such as birdhouses, flags, or potted plants are supported for decoration, whereas items such as lawn tools, or mailboxes are supported for utilitarian or accessory uses. The platform and cap are coupled via a shaft. The ends of the shaft are threadingly or adhesively received into both the cap and the platform. The present invention further serves the function of identifying and locating the well pipe end in a sure and easy manner. The invention also integrates an electrical wire conduit end cap for well pipe ends that have associated conduit carrying the conductors of a subsurface water pump.
