Local Authorities & Council Fencing

Reduce costs and improve the safety of public areas with Postsaver long-life fencing products. Our commitment to preventing wooden fence post failure enables the continued use of timber fence posts for local authorities and keeps your costs down. Read on to understand the issue and to see how Postsaver can help.

What's the Problem for Local Authorities?

We understand that local authorities can be responsible for a considerable amount of fencing. While some council fencing might secure residential properties, others may define boundaries of public spaces and roads, or even public footpaths and bridleways. Every fence has its purpose, and its own attached costs and safety concerns.

As you know, any fence failure for local authorities requires numerous resources to resolve. Costs can amount from inspection, administration and replacement by an approved contractor, leading to potential pressure on valuable funding. Beyond this, safety concerns are paramount to ensure the protection of the local community.

How Can Postsaver Help?

Postsaver has been producing long-life fencing products for over 25-years. Our products, combined with our knowledge and expertise, could help local authorities cut costs and improve safety. The Postsaver Pro-Sleeve is a dual-layer system that protects the ground line section of a timber fence post. The newly extended lifespan of your post allows you to fit and forget.

Why Does a Fence Post Need Protection?

Wooden fence posts are a cost-effective and versatile form of fencing, but they can be prone to ground rot. We find the three critical factors for decay at the ground line section: fungi, moisture, and well-oxygenated soil. Fortunately, the isolation of the issue means a Postsaver Pro-Sleeve is a sure way of protecting your posts and saving money compared to costly alternatives such as steel or concrete.

What About Protecting Different Types of Fencing?

The great thing about wooden fencing is the versatile nature and ease of installation, making it an excellent option for so many different fencing types. To enable local authorities to continue using wooden posts, Postsaver Pro-Sleeves can fit any size post. For installation, we can provide your approved contractor with everything they need to fit Pro-Sleeves.

What Benefits Can We Gain From Using Postsaver?

The most significant benefit of using wooden posts are the cost-savings that can be achieved. As the cheapest fencing material, it only becomes less expensive with Postsaver thanks to the long term cost benefits.

Postsaver can assist with jobs of all sizes. Our immediate availability of stock is ready for smaller urgent jobs or large scale government tenders. Whatever your needs, we can supply the products and accessories to suit.

Pro-Sleeves allow the continued use of timber fence posts instead of more challenging to handle concrete or creosote-treated posts. With a guaranteed lifespan of 20-years, Pro-sleeved posts are by far one of the most cost-effective options.

Is It Proven?

Pro-Sleeves are backed by 20-years of independent test data with zero reported failures to date. Testing includes rigorous analysis to ensure the Pro-Sleeves comply with European standards and those of the American Wood Preservative Association. The extensive test data gives us the confidence to offer our 20-year post replacement guarantee. Check out our test data here or get in touch to find out more.

Postsaver Pro-Tip

Have you come across rot-free wobbly posts? These are potential collapse waiting to happen. We recommend digging away the soil and using Postsaver Pro-Set to secure the post in place. The rigid foam is strong and ultra-light and doesn't require any water. Perfect for new installations or a quick repair.
