Why it matters:
Protect, repair, and upgrade your fence, all at once.
Our 6″ Full-Protection Post Guard wraps more of the post for maximum defense against weed-whackers, lawn mowers, pests, moisture, and daily abuse from maintenance equipment.
This is the ideal solution for posts that already show damage — or for properties where protection matters most, like HOAs, commercial properties, golf courses, and manicured landscapes.
Why choose the 6″ version?
The extra height gives you more coverage where damage actually happens, above and below grade, keeping posts stronger for far longer.
Crafted in North America from 22-gauge galvanized steel, this upgraded guard resists cracking, splitting, and UV exposure — outperforming cheap plastic protectors every time.
Install in minutes, and enjoy years of protection.
