This dual-layer rot protection seal system excludes all the factors required for decay to occur (oxygen, fungi and moisture), guaranteeing against rot. The burner causes the inner bitumen layer to shrink until it wraps around the post like a kind of skin. Our dual-layer barrier system creates an air and watertight seal to the post surface, keeping out all the factors that can contribute to wood decay. Below 6 inches or 15 cm in the ground, there is not enough oxygen for the fungi required for decay to survive; this means there is no need to protect the post below this point.

Unlike liquid coatings and bitumen paint, Postsaver maintains a barrier to the causes of decay when the post cracks or splits. The use of strimmers and weedkiller look a mess and run risk of damaging posts, but the post-tector protects the post and keeps grass and weeds from growing around it which saves time on garden maintenance.

If applying rot protectors to a square post, you'll also need a foam roller to ensure adhesion to the flat sides of the post. Our padded post protectors are fitted with a hook and loop fastening system making it very easy to fit them to your posts.

You also ensure that the post is completely dry because the Postsaver sleeve does not adhere as well when the posts are wet. These post-tectors fit either a 3" or a 4" post as you simply bend them according to which size post you need them to fit around. Fence Protector is produced in a durable flexible UPVC which will fit a variety of concrete post sizes. Because we offer round and square post protectors, they can be used to cover all different types of posts. All of our post protectors are constructed from the finest polyurethane foams with high-quality PVC covers.Years ago (in the 80s) I had about 300m of post and rail fence - advice was to put the posts in a bin liner before concreting them in, and to slope the concrete surface as suggested above - I no longer live there but the fence is still standing.
