Can This Wrap Save Your Fence From Rot?

Introducing Fence Armor RotGuard:

Happy Friday! We’re excited to officially introduce Fence Armor RotGuard, now available to the public.

RotGuard is a simple, effective solution designed to preserve and protect wood posts at the ground line, where rot is most likely to occur. By wrapping around the post, RotGuard creates a durable barrier against moisture, oxygen, and the fungi that cause wood decay.

Why RotGuard Matters

Ground-line rot is the #1 reason fence posts fail. This area is warm, moist, and exposed to oxygen — the perfect environment for decay. Modern pressure-treated lumber simply doesn’t last the way it used to, making added protection more important than ever.

RotGuard helps stop rot before it starts.

Product Highlights

• Easy installation – No torch, no special tools required

• Self-adhesive wrap – Includes a squeegee to remove air and ensure proper adhesion

Installation Notes

• Wood should be under 18% moisture for best adhesion

• If moisture content is higher, 3M™ Super 77 adhesive may be used

• Wrapping the entire post is unnecessary unless the post is installed horizontally (such as on a berm or landscape feature)

• Protection is focused at the ground line — the most critical failure point

Complete the Protection System

For maximum durability, pair RotGuard with:

• Fence Armor Post Guards – Protect the post top above ground, where damage and rot often begin

• Post Caps – Prevent moisture intrusion from the top of the post

Together, these products help protect your fence from top to bottom.
