Postsaver Rot Protection

Postsaver post rot protector’s exclude all the factors required for decay, locking preservative in and moisture, oxygen and fungi out. Preventing costly ground-line rot in your wooden posts.
Dual-Layer Rot Prevention Technology
Independently Tested & Proven Over 25+ Years
20 Year Post-Replacement Guarantee

Postsaver's Three Step Protection Process

1. Enable Dual-Layer Barrier
Postsaver Pro-Wraps feature a dual-layer barrier protection system, that creates a long-lasting air and water-tight seal around the post
2. Locks In Preservative
This dual-layer seal ensures that over the post’s life the wood preservatives are locked inside the post and do not leach out over time.
3. Lock Out Causes Of Decay
The dual-layer seal also locks out all the factors required for decay to occur including moisture, fungi and oxygen at the critical ground-line (up to 6” or 150mm below ground) of the post.
Application

How Easy Is It To Apply Protection?

All you need is a 2KW+ Hot Air Gun or gas blowtorch, and a foam roller if you’re applying to square posts (stapler + knife required for Wrap & Tack). Postsaver rot protected posts are suitable for installation with fence post concrete.
1. Measure Hole Depth
2. Position on the post & heat shrink on
3. Install the post in all the normal ways

Postsaver’s Dual-Layer Barrier – Explained

Postsaver’s dual-layer barrier system comprises of a tough, outer polythene skin coated in a bituminous inner sealant.
When heated (during product application), two things happen:
1
The inner sealant melts and penetrates into the surface of the wood
2
The outer polythene barrier shrinks down on-top to add a second layer of protection
This process creates an air and watertight seal to the posts surface which locks in preservatives and locks out three decay causing factors; Fungi, Oxygen & Moisture.

What Do Our Customers Say?

Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn’t the protector cover the bottom of the post?

Beyond 15 cm or 6 inches below ground there is not enough oxygen to support the decaying organisms and fungi. Coupled with temperatures below 10°C means that these decaying organisms are unable to survive and rot cannot occur.

Can I install rot protected posts with fence post concrete?

Yes. All posts that have our rot protectors applied to them can be installed in all the usual ways - including installation with fence post concrete.

How do you know Pro-Wrap rot protection works?

Our confidence comes from our zero failure, 20-year independent field test data conducted by the BRE, Europe's largest and leading timber test organisation. With millions of rot protectors sold to over 30 countries worldwide over the last 26 years, our product is proven in volume use, and our test data confirms this.

How do you apply rot protectors? Can I apply them myself?

Yes. All you need is a blowtorch or 2KW+ hot air gun and if applying rot protectors to a square post, a foam roller. All application equipment is available to purchase from us directly.
