Maximum Fence Post Protection for High-Traffic & Commercial Landscapes
Protect, restore, and extend the life of your fence posts with the extra coverage of the Fence Armor® PostGuard™ 6” Tall Full Post Guard™.
Designed for homeowners, fence contractors, HOAs, landscapers, golf courses, commercial properties, farms, and municipal applications, the 6-inch version delivers extended protection exactly where fence posts are most vulnerable to damage from weed whackers, lawn mowers, string trimmers, moisture, pets, and everyday maintenance equipment.
Unlike plastic post shields that can crack, fade, become brittle, or shift over time, Fence Armor® Post Guards are manufactured from durable 22-gauge galvanized North American steel and engineered to provide long-lasting 360° protection around the most vulnerable portion of your fence post.
Why choose the 6″ version?
The 6” Tall Pro-Series Post Guard™ is the preferred choice for high-maintenance properties and professional landscape environments where standard-height protection may not be enough.
For HOA communities, golf courses, municipal properties, apartment complexes, parks, and commercial facilities, the taller design helps reduce visible fence damage caused by repeated trimming and mowing throughout the season.
It is also one of the fastest ways to restore curb appeal on aging fences by covering scarred, chipped, or weathered post bases without replacing the entire fence.
Install in minutes and immediately improve the appearance and durability of your property.
The extra 6-inch height makes this model especially effective for:
- Covering and hiding existing weed-whacker damage
- Protecting freshly stained or painted fences
- Guarding posts in aggressive maintenance environments
- HOA common areas and commercial landscapes
- Split rail fences and perimeter fencing
- Mailbox posts exposed to repeated trimming
- Deck posts, pergolas, playgrounds, and swing sets
- Protecting exposed portions of Fence Armor RotGuard™ installations
The additional height also allows protection slightly above and below grade, helping shield the most common impact zones where moisture and mechanical damage can shorten the life of wood, vinyl, and composite fence posts.
Built for Long-Term Fence Preservation
Fence posts typically fail at ground level first, where repeated impact, moisture, and organic exposure gradually break down the protective surface of the post.
That damage often starts from:
- Repeated weed-whacker impacts
- Lawn mower contact
- Chipped stain or paint
- Moisture exposure
- Insects and fungal decay entering exposed wood fibers
Fence Armor® helps interrupt that cycle by creating a durable physical barrier around the most vulnerable portion of the post.
For maximum fence longevity, many contractors pair the 6” Post Guard™ with Fence Armor RotGuard™ below ground and Fence Armor CapClaw™ above ground to create a complete post protection system.
