Did You Know?

Wood posts are never the size they say on the label. Always measure your post size and order the matching Fence Armor product.

Before You Order

Does a 4”x4” or 6”x6” fence post really measure 4”x4” or 6”x6” inches? In most parts of North America, the answer is a resounding NO!

4”x4” refers to the nominal size, but the actual sizeis 3.5”x3.5” and a 6”x6” is actually 5.5”x5.5”. The same is true for all lumber sizes!

The message here is that you must ALWAYS take a measurement of the posts you are ordering FenceArmor for. This is true for Vinyl, Round and MetalFence posts.

It will save you time and extra shipping costs for returned materials.

Installation Instructions:

Fence Armor Metal Post application installation instructions:

  • For 2 x 2 metal posts Fence Armor is designed to simply click lock
    around the existing posts. Take each half unit and snap the
    corresponding notches to fasten to the post. No Drilling required.

Fence Armor Round application installation instructions:

  • The Fence Armor Round application was designed to follow the bend
    on a rounded post. Standard rounded posts have a diameter of 3.5 to
    5 inches. If your post is larger, two or more segments of Fence Armor
    Round may be required to cover the post. Sink the fastener of your
    choice into the center hole, then wrap until the two ends meet and
    fasten securely to the post.


For tree protection it is important NOT to affix the product directly to the
tree, there must be approximately a quarter to half an inch of room for the
tree to breathe. By fastening the center holes together with a bolt the
necessary length and height can be achieved to reach the desired
diameter.

For more unique shapes Fence Armor Round is malleable and can be
formed to fit most shapes.

Off the Box Instructions:

Slide Fence Armor over the bottom of your existing post, at the middle of
the centre line of your grass trimmers path. Place a second unit on the
opposite side of the post, over-lapping each unit until slot and side holes
meet. Fasten with 1 ¼ to 1 ½ inch long galvanized nail or outdoor rated
deck screw. If side holes are not accessible, use the front hole to fasten
with the same type of fastener. For best results stain or waterproof
untreated posts before installing Fence Armor. If required, due to ground or
fence level, you may stack Fence Armor to increase desired protection
area.
