Post Sleeves. 6×6 Deck Posts. Lose the Ground Contact!

June 15, 2018 by Ken

Lose the Ground Contact?

Don’t take my word for it.

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 & insects.

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!

Decks, Pergolas, Pole Barns, Fences or any post-foundation project!

June 14, 2018 by Ken

Marshall County, AL: Obviously enthusiastic customer & homeowner, KP, took the time to share these pics as his 320′, (40) 4×4 post, Pro installed fence project is under way.

“We know that when putting wood in the ground you run the risk of decay & insect infestation. Also, wood posts don’t do well with weekly string-trimming. So, in an effort to protect our investment, I did some research and found the perfect solution, Post Protector. This simple, affordable product satisfied all of our concerns and my wife also appreciated their attractive appearance. My builder said he had recently heard of Post Protector but had yet to use them…. now that he has, he likes them as much as we do! Great product!

Post Protector…. because EVERYONE knows that wood in ‘Ground-Contact’ is NOT the optimum environment for longevity!

Retain the speed, simplicity, affordability, & strength of a direct burial post foundation without the threat of soil-dwelling microorganism or insect attack.

Post Protector for 4″ x 4″ is a Smart Alternative to ‘Pier and ‘Bracket’

May 31, 2018 by Ken

Saginaw County, MI: Eagle Scout Project – Builder by trade & proud father, RB, was enlisted by his Eagle Scout son to construct this handsome Band Director Stand. Positioned adjacent to the practice field, the stand will provide the perfect vantage point for the Band Direct to observe & instruct, further honing the skills of the school’s already outstanding marching band.

“As a builder of custom homes, I’m well aware that ground-contact posts can fail. Not wanting to invest all the time & money in concrete ‘pier & bracket’ foundations to eliminate ground-contact, I decided to search for an alternative. I found a few options but it was Post Protector that made sense to me and, clearly, the most complete system. It isolates & protects the post from ground contact, easy installation, uplift protection, weed eater protection, & an attractive appearance, to name a few. Their customer service was outstanding, too. I called on Thursday afternoon with posts needing to be set on Saturday. Somehow, they pulled it off as the Post Protectors were delivered Friday afternoon! Excellent product & service!”

Post Protector / Skirt-Board Protector on a Donald Berg Cold Spring Barn

May 29, 2018 by Ken

Boone County, KY: yet another enthusiastic customer & DIY guy, BD, was kind enough to share pics as his high-style, workshop/man-cave barn build is taking shape.

“I had reluctantly decided on a ‘continuous foundation’ knowing that a ‘wood foundation in ground contact’ creates a legitimate decay threat. When communicating this foundation conundrum to my material supplier, he said “Why not just use Post Protector / Skirt-Board Protector? Post Protector’s foundation protection system will give you the best of both methods. Addressing the decay concern by eliminating all ground contact like the ‘continuous foundation’ while enjoying the simplicity, affordability of the traditional wood foundation.” I was an immediate believer and the decision to utilize these simple products with BIG benefits was an easy one.”

Post Protector: The Solution for the Pole Barn’s ‘Weak Link’

May 22, 2018 by Ken

Loudon County, TN: Yet another enthusiastic DIY customer, TG, sent this pretty pic of his project in progress. When completed, this 30′ x 40′ x 11′ will long serve as an equipment storage shed as it features a foundation consisting of 3 ply 2″ x 6″ nail-lam posts with Post Protector.

“My family has always used pole barns but I’ve always said that there is one ‘weak link’ in this construction method, the wood-foundation in ground-contact. So when planning this barn, I decided to check around to see if there was a solution. As soon as I found Post Protector I knew I would use them. Their products address my foundation longevity concerns without giving up the simplicity and affordability that make pole barns so attractive.”

Post Protector… LOSE the ‘Ground Contact!’

May 21, 2018 by Ken

LOSE the Ground Contact?

Don’t take my word for it… here’s what chemical preservative manufacturers have to say:

“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,

#1. SOIL retains moisture for long periods of time

#2. This creates conditions favorable for the plethora of SOIL-INHABITING, WOOD-ROTTING Microorganisms

#3. SOIL also harbors aggressive preservative depletion organisms.” ACS Technical Symposium

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%+.
