RotGuard™ Wood Rot Barrier
Fence Armor’s RotGuard post rot protector system provides comprehensive protection for your fence posts—shielding them from moisture, pests, and the elements that cause wood decay, while supporting your overall wood care routine.
What Is RotGuard Post Rot Protector?
The RotGuard Rot Barrier Collection is a smart solution designed to protect fence posts from rot and decay at the base, where damage usually starts and is hardest to repair.
Moisture, soil contact, and trapped debris at ground level are the main culprits behind wood decay.
RotGuard self-adhesive wraps create a solid, waterproof barrier around the post—providing fence post waterproofing right where your posts are most vulnerable.
Each roll of RotGuard post rot protector can be cut to length to fit various post sizes, shapes, and materials, whether you are working with pressure-treated wood, cedar, or composite posts.
Once installed on the post before it goes into the ground, this post-rot protector does the work for you. It protects the wood from moisture, pests, and other factors that cause fence deterioration.
Pairing RotGuard with good wood care practices and tools such as a stain machine or fence staining equipment further prolongs your fence posts’ longevity.
By choosing a RotGuard post rot protector, you are making a long-term investment in your fence's health. That means fewer repairs, less frequent replacements, and more time enjoying your outdoor space instead of worrying about post damage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
This section addresses common questions related to our Fence Armor RotGuard Rot Barrier Collection.
How Often Should I Apply Post Rot Prevention Products?
[ADJUSTED] Most RotGuard post rot protectors are a one-time installation at ground level. Once installed correctly on the post before it goes into the ground, they provide long-term protection without frequent re-application.
However, you should still inspect your fence regularly and maintain your wood care routine with cleaning, sealing, and staining as needed.
How Long Does a RotGuard Rot Barrier Last?
RotGuard is designed as a long-term post rot protector, engineered from durable waterproofing membranes to deliver many years of protection at the ground line. Actual service life depends on soil conditions, climate, and overall fence maintenance.
Just make sure to always review the product packaging or specifications for warranty details and expected performance.
How Do You Prolong the Life of Pressure-Treated Wood?
To prolong the life of pressure-treated fence posts, regularly clean the wood, apply quality stains or sealers, and keep vegetation away from the post base.
Adding a RotGuard wood rot barrier at ground level helps block moisture and decay where pressure-treated wood is most vulnerable, significantly extending post life when combined with routine maintenance.
Can RotGuard Be Applied to Existing Posts?
No. RotGuard is designed to be applied before installation, while the post is still out of the ground. The wrap goes directly around the wood at the correct height to create a protective barrier at the ground line before you set and backfill the post.
Can I Use RotGuard on Concrete-Set Posts?
RotGuard is primarily designed for wooden posts and can also be helpful on some metal posts, especially in harsh, wet, or contaminated soils. It is not typically needed for solid concrete posts, since concrete does not rot.
However, if you are setting wood or metal posts in concrete, you can still use RotGuard as a post rot protector by positioning the wrap at the ground-line zone where the post meets soil and grade, and then following the installation and sizing guides for best results.
