Wake County, NC: Customer pics, Pro Built, (12) 6x6x60″ Post Protectors purchased @ http://www.homedepot.com/
This pretty 17′ x 25′ screened porch addition, sits on a prudently prepared, pressure treated post-foundation.
The 6″ x 6″ feature Post Protector’s ‘barrier’ system, isolating the post & providing a sensible, additional layer of decay/insect protection.
“The added post decay protection was far too logical, not to mention the easy install & affordability, to pass up.”
Why add ‘Barrier’ protection?
Here’s what preservative manufacturers, foremost experts in decay protection, have to say about adding ‘barrier’ protection to complement ‘chemical’ protection by eliminating ground-contact:
* “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 feeding microorganisms. ‘Barrier’ protection isolates the post, excluding ‘ground-contact’ and the decay hazards that lie within.”
* “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 increases post longevity performance by 250%+.
