Postsaver - Rot Barrier

What a Post Saver! Fence Post Protector Sleeves Are Air and Water-tight.

Postsaver® fence post protector sleeves are a perfect fit for in-ground post protection from moisture, rot, fungi, and insect infestation. Guard all new wood fence or deck posts with an air and water-tight 6x6 post wrap protection sleeve that acts as a rot block. Available in multiple sizes, each post saver provides a custom fit as porch post wraps, fence post protector sleeves, and cedar deck post sleeves. Square, round, or rectangular shapes, and even extra-large, or extra small posts, Postsaver® offers individual, or a 10-pack wood post protective sleeve, with a 5-Yard Roll option to meet specific rot block project needs.

Postsaver® post guard sleeves come as singles and in packs of 10. The sizes of the wood post protective sleeve range from 3.50˝ x 3.50˝ to 8.00˝ x 8.00˝. Additionally, a Post Saver 5-Yard Roll, equaling a 195˝ length of moisture barrier and rot block protection, accommodates multiple post sizes, smaller, and larger. That’s approximately 10 - 12 protected posts per roll if each post is between 3.50˝ x 3.50˝ or 4˝x 4˝.

Protecting new fence or deck posts before building, adds years to the life of new posts. Postsaver® post guard sleeves are independently tested, and proven to work, with results demonstrating Postsaver® post guard sleeves to last 24 years, or longer. As such, the Postsaver® wood post protective sleeve comes with the guarantee of up to 20 years of longevity on every post saver sleeve application.

Today, it’s more important than ever to do our part for the environment. Since 1994, Postsaver® has been producing this post saver wood post protective sleeve designed to protect new wood posts from rotting too soon. Postsaver’s thermoplastic outer layer sleeve heat seals to the post, preventing water or moisture from penetrating the post and, prohibiting any bituminous gas or particle, from leaching into the surrounding soil.

Postsaver® Sleeves - The Rot Prevention You Need

Post protection starts below ground, specifically 6˝ to 8”. As stated above, rot occurs primarily 6˝ to 8” below ground, where air, moisture and water thrive. If you have ever pulled a wood post out of the ground, you will notice that is specifically where the rot occurs, and the bottom of the post is still intact. The Postsaver® sleeves are designed to protect that area and takes away the ability for rot to occur and the fungi to be able to attack the post.

The Versatility of the Postsaver® Sleeves

The Postsaver® sleeves are available in a few different options. As shown above, you can get the post wraps in a 5-yard roll which is perfect for multiple jobs and ease of use. You can also purchase single post-saver sleeves or a 10 pack. It is meant to be as simple and easy a process as the installation is.

Postsaver® Wrap & Tack - What Is It?

An application of the Postsaver® sleeves that we think is important to share is the Wrap & Tack installation on sleepers. As you know, sleepers are used in framing to provide support and to allow air and moisture to move through. The posts will be below ground, so you know what that means? It will need to be protected, specifically with post sleeves. This requires a different installation from the average Postsaver® sleeve application. The 5-yard roll allows you to do the Wrap & Tack, which is exactly what is needed for the sleepers. The tools needed for this project are: the Postsaver® sleeves, a stapler, a knife, the roller and blowtorch. The installation itself is very simple, you will need to unroll the post wraps and staple it along the sleeper. Next is to apply the post-saver sleeves to any surface that is in contact with the ground. It is best to trim the excess off the post sleeves as you go, as it keeps it clean and more aesthetically pleasing. Lastly, as with all Postsaver® sleeves, you need to heat shrink the post sleeves into place and take the roller to set the seal. Rinse and repeat and make sure to always remove the excess off the post-saver sleeves. It sounds more complicated than it is and the effort is worth it, as it will keep your retaining wall, deck or other projects protected from rot for 20+ years.

Trust in the Postsaver® Sleeves

Post rot is insidious and will happen if the post is not protected. The Postsaver® post sleeves make taking preventative measures easy and simple. Apply the post wraps to the post before they are installed and have 20 years guaranteed. Trust in your investment, trust in your fence.
