Post Protector: LOSE the Ground Contact… MAXIMIZE Post Longevity Performance!

Pole Barn Post Protectors

It’s that simple.

Here’s why…

Even though chemical preservatives deliver solid decay & insect protection, Checks (splits/cracks) exposing non-treated wood, Inconsistent Chemical Absorption/Retention, and Chemical Leaching/Migration can pave a way for microorganisms & insects to bypass the preservative protection resulting in post failure.

By simply adding the Post Protector ‘barrier’ system & eliminating GROUND CONTACT, the aforementioned conditions that facilitate microorganism & insect attack instantly disappear!

Complementing chemical preservatives, Post Protector isolates the post so that decay-causing microorganisms (soil-dwelling/atmospheric) and destructive subterranean insects have NO post access.

And if that’s not enough for you, Post Protector is perfect for both the Pro & DIYer, simple to install, affordable, attractive appearance, integral uplift protection feature, minimizes chemical leaching & string-trimmer proof!

….and the downside is??? That’s right, there isn’t one!

Harris County, TX: Experienced DIY guy, CH, just sent these pretty pics as he and his son began their fence project this past weekend.

This 320′, 6′ 6″ fence will feature a ‘rock solid’ foundation consisting of (40) 8′ oc, 6″ x 6″ pt posts, wrapped in Post Protector!

“Knowing that in-ground posts commonly fail prematurely, I asked my lumber supplier if he had any decay protection ideas for me. He recommended Post Protector. I immediately liked the idea of isolating the post and adding an additional layer of protection against decay. Post Protector is a ‘smart’ product that’s simple to install and gives me confidence that my fence posts will last.”

Muscatine County, IA: (Pro Pics) Post Frame experts and Post Protector proponents, Petersen Construction, shared these great pics as they erect a 152′ x 104′ (80′ x 104′ x 23′ with flanking 36′ lean-tos) commercial truck storage/maintenance facility. This ‘traditional’ post frame foundation features (66) 3 ply 2×6 / 4 ply 2×8 in-ground posts along with a simple, yet remarkable performance enhancement… Post Protector!

“We let all our customers know about Post Protector. We explain how it retains all the ‘good’ (simplicity, affordability, strength) of a ‘traditional’ post foundation & easily excludes the ‘bad’ ….Ground-Contact. Consumers investing in pole barns ‘get it’ and welcome this simple, yet significant foundation protection.”

Add the Post Protector ‘barrier’ system. Eliminate GROUND CONTACT & all the decay hazards that lie within!

Here’s what a preservative manufacturer says:

“Barrier protection will substantially increase the lifespan of any post by protecting it from soil fungi & insect attack far more effectively than a preservative treatment alone can achieve.”

Floyd County, GA: CS had to hire a builder to replace his fence due to post failure. He sent pics as his builder wisely installs (42) new 4″ x 4″ & 4″ x 6″ fence posts, this time, with a significant advantage, Post Protector’s ‘barrier’ protection!

Here’s what preservative manufacturers, the foremost experts in decay protection, say about adding ‘barrier’ protection as an additional layer of protection for in-ground posts:

“Barrier protection will substantially increase the lifespan of any post by protecting it from soil fungi & insect attack far more effectively than a preservative treatment alone can achieve.”

“Barrier protection prevents the invasion of wood-destroying soil fungi and termites.” The GROUND CONTACT decay hazard is severe because of the plethora of SOIL-INHABITING, WOOD-ROTTING Microorganisms.

Post Protector provides a physical “barrier” separating the post from Soil and all the Decay Hazards that lie within.

That said & no surprise, a recent scientific study shows that ‘barrier’ protection increases post longevity performance by 250%+.

Post Protector…. the perfect complement to a pressure treated post!

Kent County, MI: Enthusiastic customer DJC sent pics as his post frame home takes shape. This gorgeous, valley gambrel, country home features 2400 sq. ft. of living space, 1200 sq. ft. garage with a 720 sq. ft. loft, and, prudently, a Post Protector foundation!

“We originally planned on a full basement but, all in, the quote was close to 50K & would have completely blown the budget! Voicing the need for a more affordable foundation option, our builder suggested Post Protector. He explained, “All you really need to do is eliminate ‘wood in ground-contact’ and the decay threat that it creates. Post Protector does just that, simply & affordably.”

With Post Protector, we saved a bunch of money without feeling we gave anything up. My wife & I believe Post Protector was the ‘smart’ foundation choice & know our new home will be past on to our children, and then our grandchildren!”

Add the Post Protector. Eliminate GROUND CONTACT & all the decay hazards that lie within!

Post Protector for Pole Barn Foundations

Post Protector for Pole Barns

There’s good reason why we’re REQUIRED to use posts with MAXIMUM chemical retention for ‘GROUND-CONTACT’ applications.

Decay hazards are highest due to SOIL-DWELLING, WOOD-FEEDING Microorganisms as well as wood-destroying subterranean insects.

Microorganisms are not only abundant in SOIL but in ATMOSPHERE, too!

So don’t think your ‘out of the woods’ with concrete back-fill.

We all know that posts in concrete fail at the grade line and the PP customer’s, with both soil & concrete encased posts, feedback supports that they’re often the first to go!

Even though chemical preservatives deliver solid decay & insect protection, Checks (splits/cracks), Inconsistent Chemical Absorption/Retention, and Chemical Leaching/Migration can pave a way for microorganisms & insects to bypass the preservative protection resulting in post failure.

By simply adding the Post Protector ‘barrier’ system to 4″-6″ above the the grade-line/finished floor & eliminating GROUND CONTACT, the aforementioned conditions that facilitate microorganism & insect attack instantly disappear!

Complementing chemical preservatives, Post Protector isolates the post so that decay-causing microorganisms (soil-dwelling/atmospheric) and destructive subterranean insects have NO post access.

Brilliant!

Post Protectors for Pole Barns. Revolutionizing the Post-Foundation!

#keepitsimple  #makeitlast

These common foundation options are designed to support & anchor a structure.

Walls, piers, or posts, sit atop a spread footing, below the frost line, transmitting loads to the earth.

With each method meeting the necessary structural requirements, the ‘post’ foundation is an attractive choice for the speed, strength, simplicity, & substantial cost advantage.

Despite all this goodness, many feel compelled to avoid this foundation type because it’s the only method that DOES NOT eliminate GROUND CONTACT, hence post longevity concern.
