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%+.
