Frequently Asked Questions

Can I fit Postsaver Pro-Wraps myself or do I need a trade professional?

Postsaver rot protectors are designed to be straightforward to install and can be fitted by both DIY enthusiasts and professional fencing contractors.

If you're planning to tackle your fencing project yourself, our step-by-step Postsaver installation guide is a great place to start. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully and observe all relevant safety precautions when using heating equipment.

Alternatively, if you'd prefer to save time and skip the application process, we also offer Pro-Posts, with Postsaver rot protectors pre-applied to the timber posts. These are available to purchase directly from our online store.

If you'd prefer professional installation, we have a nationwide network of fencing contractors who are Approved Postsaver Installers. Find an Approved Postsaver Installer near you.

What do I need to apply Postsaver rot protection?

All you need is a gas blowtorch or 2 KW+ hot air gun and, if applying rot protectors to a square post, a foam roller.

What happens if I overheat or underheat the sleeve?

Postsaver rot protectors require even heat to seal securely to the post. An overheated sleeve may result in burning through the outer layer, which compromises the effectiveness of the product. If this happens, you can either cut the sleeve off and apply a new one or use Postsaver patch repair tape to cover the burn. 

An underheated sleeve will result in a poor seal; again, this may compromise the effectiveness of the product, with the inner lining not adhering adequately to the post and the outer layer not shrinking tightly enough. Our application tutorials are a great place to start if you’re applying Postsaver rot protectors for the first time.

Will the sleeve be damaged by stones or pressure during installation?

Postsaver rot protectors are manufactured from a tough, durable thermoplastic material designed to withstand the pressures of installation, including power-driving posts into the ground. This provides reliable protection against the knocks and stresses typically encountered during installation.
