“Post Protector exemplifies our commitment to quality… “

Eagle Lake, AB, Canada: The post frame experts & fine folks at Remuda Building were kind enough to share these gorgeous pics of a recently completed project.

This beautiful, L-shaped, 48’x72’/48’x42’x18′, built on an equally beautiful lakeside property, oozes ‘quality’ throughout… and we all know ‘quality’ starts at the foundation!

That said & no surprise, this foundation consists of 4 ply 2″ x 8″ pressure treated posts and, to extinguish decay hazards, the prudent addition of Post Protector!

“Remuda Building… Above and Beyond Ordinary. This is more than just some corporate tagline. It represents our responsibility to provide the highest level of quality & service to every customer. Post Protector exemplifies our commitment to quality & shows the customer that we take the extra step to protect their investment. In addition, this obvious foundation improvement is easy to install and has an underwhelming effect on overall project cost.”

Post Protector isolates the post so that soil-dwelling, decay-causing microorganisms, atmospheric microorganisms (that attack concrete encased posts at the grade line) and destructive subterranean insects have NO post access.

Enjoy the Speed, Simplicity, Affordability, & Strength of a traditional, direct-burial, post foundation without longevity concerns.

Brilliant!

Elgin County, Ontario: Experienced DIYer & British classic car enthusiast, KM, sent pics as his 24′ x 40′ auto storage facility takes shape.

“Everything I do has to be done ‘right’ & adding Post Protector is the ‘right’ way to set posts. This ingenious product isolates the in-ground post so it technically ‘isn’t in the ground’ hence, void of all decay hazards. Brilliant! Post Protector takes a sensible approach to decay protection, is affordable, and couldn’t be any simpler to install. I can’t see why anyone would invest in a barn without this foundation protection.”

“We Switched from ‘Pier & Bracket’ to Post Protector”

Kent County, DE: The pros at First State Building provide custom designs as each customer has a unique vision for their outdoor space. That said, no two deck designs are identical but there is one feature included on every project….

a Post Protector foundation!

“We switched from ‘pier & bracket’ to Post Protector on all our post foundation projects 3 years ago. Like the ‘pier & bracket,’ Post Protector eliminates direct soil/concrete to wood contact. It provides ‘barrier’ protection safeguarding the post from soil/atmospheric microorganisms & subterranean insect attack. Our customers enjoy a cost savings of $250. per post without sacrificing quality & and we like the strength of our 6″ x 6″ foundation posts ‘in-ground’ rather than bolted to a bracket above grade. Post Protector is precisely the help a pressure treated post needs.”

Complementing chemical preservatives, Post Protector isolates the post so that decay-causing, soil-dwelling microorganisms/insects &, when in concrete, atmospheric microorganisms have NO post access.

Post Protector…. the perfect complement to a post-foundation!

Post Protector: A Tar Coating Just Doesn’t do the Job!

Post Protector 6x6 post sleeve for pole buildingPost Protector 6x6 post sleeve for pole barnsPost Protector 6x6 post sleeve for pole barn

Chatham-Kent, Ontario: Pole Barn builder, JN, is a proponent of including ‘additional decay protection’ for in-ground, pressure treated posts but was never satisfied with his approach.

“I have been brushing tar the bottom of my posts for additional decay protection but it’s time-consuming, messy, unsightly, & unprofessional. Furthermore, and most importantly, tar provides no check (split/crack) protection. Checks expose non-treated wood allowing decay-fungi a way around preservative protection. Post Protector is a complete, professional system that is lightweight, easy to install, attractive, affordable, & effective. My customer & I were thoroughly impressed! Post Protector is now standard on all my buildings.”

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 adding the Post Protector & eliminating GROUND CONTACT, the aforementioned conditions that facilitate microorganism & insect attack disappear!

Tuscaloosa County, AL: P.G. sent pics as his builder sets (52) 4″ x 4″ posts for his 400′ fence project at his new home. He wanted a stealthy, affordable, and long-lasting fence placed just into the tree-line that surrounds the backyard. 

No surprise he included Post Protector.

“When we came across Post Protector online, it instantly struck a chord with my wife & me. We recently had to replace failed posts on our ‘leaning’ fence when preparing our previous home for sale. Post Protector was a logical addition to our new fence project.”

Charles County, MD: Commercial Electrical Contractor, FB, needed additional storage and has, historically, utilized steel buildings… 

but not this time.

“Our other buildings are steel because I did not like post frame’s wood post foundation in direct soil or concrete contact. Since it’s been 12 years since my last build, I decided to revisit post frame for this project thinking foundation improvements may have been developed. Sure enough, I did a search & found Post Protector on www.homedepot.com. This product represents such a simple, resourceful solution to what I see as an obvious deficiency in this construction method. It’s about time!”

Harris County, TX: ***UPDATE*** Experienced DIY guy, CH, sent additional pics as he and his son make progress on their fence project. This 320′ 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 for decay protection ideas & he recommended Post Protector. I immediately liked the idea of isolating the post & adding an additional layer of protection against decay. It’s a ‘smart’ product, simple to install and gives me confidence that my fence posts will last.” 

“When my neighbor came over to get a better look at my project, Post Protector was the first thing he wanted to talk about.”

Pole Barn without Post Decay Concerns and the good news… NO Heroics Needed!

Post Protector Pole Barn without post decayPost Protector Pole Barn without post rotPost Protector Pole Barn post without decayPost Protector Pole Barn posts without decay

The classic ‘Pole Barn’ is well-established as a popular construction method & for good reason.
Simple framing, quick construction, design flexibility, strength, and value.
The pole barn ‘skips’ the conventional foundation for a direct-burial, post-foundation.
Omitting the typical foundation & required site work, translates into a substantial cost advantage.
But to many, there’s a downside.
With the cost-savings comes the known risk of posts, when in direct soil or concrete contact, failing prematurely.
No worries…
Post Protector is the ‘simple’ way to eliminate soil/concrete contact and, at the same time, enjoy the simplicity, speed, strength, & value of a traditional, direct-burial, post foundation!
Complementing chemical preservatives, Post Protector isolates the post so that decay-causing, soil-dwelling microorganisms/insects & when in concrete, atmospheric microorganisms have NO post access.
