Postsaver rot-protected and UC4-treated posts are the perfect solution to a long-lasting, high-quality fence that won’t cause stress and hassle down the line. Each post is made from high-quality timber and covered by a 20-year post-replacement guarantee, thanks to Postsaver rot protection being pre-applied. Postsaver’s dual-layer rot prevention technology is the proven solution against ground-line post rot. It works by creating an air and watertight seal around the post's surface, which locks out all the factors required for wood decay: fungi, oxygen, and moisture. Deeper in the ground, there is not enough oxygen for the fungi to survive, so there is no need to protect this part of the post. The 20-year post-replacement guarantee includes rot protection applied for a 2ft (30cm) post-burial depth. Posts can be installed in all the usual methods and are fully compatible with fence post concrete, backfill, and power-driving. These rot-protected and UC4-treated posts offer a dependable and durable fencing solution that saves you time and worry. Each post is crafted from premium timber and comes with a 20-year post-replacement guarantee, thanks to the pre-applied rot protection. This dual-layer rot prevention technology provides a proven defence against ground-line post rot, creating an air and watertight seal around the post’s surface. This seal effectively blocks the elements needed for wood decay: fungi, oxygen, and moisture. Since the oxygen levels deeper in the ground are insufficient for fungi to thrive, protection isn't required for this part of the post. The 20-year post-replacement guarantee covers rot protection when the post is buried to a depth of 2ft (60cm). These posts are compatible with all standard installation methods, including fence post concrete, backfill, and power-driving.
This guide is for anyone looking to build a long-lasting, high-quality fence with minimal maintenance. Postsaver Pro-Post fence posts offer superior rot protection and a 20-year guarantee, saving you time and money. Keep in mind that while these posts are incredibly durable, proper installation is crucial for maximizing their lifespan.
