Fence rot is the big threat to any wood fence. A major problem is that it happens below the surface, down where you cannot see the signs. Often fence owners do not see the signs until it is too late, when the fence begins to fall over. If you do not prevent fence rot, then your fence will suffer some serious damage. At Fence Armor® we know all about fence rot, but that does not mean there is not more to learn. In our many years in business, we have seen the effects of wood decay. Our team of experts is always developing new ways to prevent fence rot. Top of our concerns is what are the primary causes of fence rot. Included on the list of the primary causes of fence rot is: Fungi like to eat away at the wood Wet weather is a big cause of fence rot Bad drainage leads to big problems Using low-quality materials Prevention is the best cure Let’s take a closer look at each point. Fungi like to eat away at the wood What goes on beneath the surface is what should concern you. From the last few inches of the post down to the tip buried below, a lot can happen. Conditions down there are perfect for rot caused by fungi to thrive and eat away at the wood. A rotten post will quickly fall over in the next high wind. Wet rot where the moisture soaks into the wood and the fungi gets a hold will soon do damage to your fence. Even in a drier climate, you can get fence rot, known as dry rot, which leaves a post crumbling into pieces. White rot is a one that happens more in hardwood than in native softwoods. Wet weather is one cause of fence rot Weather, any type, from the coldest winter to the blistering sun of the summer months, can be the biggest enemy of a fence. Wet weather, of course, is a big cause of fence rot as it creates the perfect conditions for fungi to grow. Wood posts sitting in damp soil can quickly flake away into pieces. Moisture soaks deep into the soil. Down there the temperature, the oxygen content, and fungi combine to start creating the perfect storm for rot. Soon, they will get to work, which is bad news for the wood. If you can keep the soil as dry as possible, you help prevent fence rot from happening. Bad drainage leads to big problems Ask any fence owner, repair crew, or construction guy about the causes of fence rot, and they will give the same answer - bad drainage. If moisture is a problem, then to prevent fence rot, you should not have the wood posts sitting in constantly wet soil. It is only going to lead to many more issues. Avoiding bad drainage is a top tip. If the ground where you plan to build a fence does not drain well, then maybe build the fence elsewhere. It could save you time, effort, and lots of money. You should bury the posts deep in the soil in a pebble-lined hole that does not hold water. Keep the soil dry. Using low-quality materials A bad workman blames his tools, but he should also look at his materials. The same is true of a workwoman, by the way. If you use low-quality materials on any part of the fencing project, you are only buying trouble. Causes of fence rot often begin in the quality of the fence post wood used. You should only ever use pressure-treated wood on a fence post. Ask if the posts are suitable for burying before buying. Use wood that is as local as possible as it will have natural oils to protect against local climate conditions. Cheap alternatives will not last, and you will need to replace them. Prevention is the best cure There are many sayings about prevention, and all of them make perfect sense. If you are worried about the causes of fence rot, then you should prepare fully before construction. Rot gets to work on day one, and there is not any point trying to prevent fence rot once the fence is built. Fence Armor Postsaver® Pro-Sleeves are heat-sealed to the wood posts. You buy them to fit the post size and attach them before the post goes into the ground. They are both air and water-tight and will keep the posts free of rot for up to 20 years.

Postsaver® sleeves protect your fence posts. They will be hard at work defending your fence posts from rot, termites, and weather damage while you are fast asleep. Fence Armor Postsaver® Sleeves do their job from day one, stopping rot from destroying your fence posts. Without them, your fence is in serious trouble. You would be better off throwing your money away than leaving the fence posts unprotected. At Fence Armor® we like to look at fence post protection from every angle. We know that an unprotected fence post, even a pressure-treated one, will suffer once in the ground. The effects of the oxygen in the soil mixing with moisture at the right temperatures will be devastating. Fence post rot quickly takes hold and spreads deep into the wood. All this will happen beneath the surface where you won’t know about it until it is too late. The time to take action on fence post rot is now. Included on our list of questions people ask about Fence Armor Postsaver® Sleeves is: Just what are Fence Armor Postsaver® Sleeves? How do they work? Do I attach them, or do I need a professional? Will Postsaver® Sleeves add life to a fence? Are they good for the environment? Let’s take a closer look at each question and answer. Just what are Fence Armor Postsaver® Sleeves An excellent question and one we get asked at trade shows and on our website all the time. Fence Armor Postsaver® Sleeves are a heat-shrinkable thermoplastic bitumen-lined plastic sleeve. They slide over the bottom of your wooden fence post before you install it in the soil and stop fence post rot. After you heat seal them to the fence post, they protect the wood where it is exposed to the most damage. Your fence posts should be pressure-treated at the factory to give a baseline of protection. For the next 20 years, you need a Postsaver® Sleeve to protect the wood fence when in the ground. How do they work? Very simply, they stop the damp soil from damaging your wood fence posts. The Fence Armor Postsaver® Sleeves create an impenetrable barrier around the wood. The fence post rot cannot take hold when you have such a barrier in place; it will not get in and eat your posts. The dual air and water-tight layer is sealed around the wood and protects it over a lifetime of service for at least 20 years. The heat-sealed interior lining keeps everything at bay. The rot and termites will want to get at the fresh wood, but the Postsaver® Sleeves will stop every attack before it begins. Do I attach them, or do I need a professional for the work? It is up to you, but the Fence Armor Postsaver® Sleeves are very simple to attach to your fence posts. The critical factor is to attach the sleeves before they go into the ground. Fence Armor® will give fence post protection above ground level, but you need the protection below ground as well. Each sleeve is 14 inches long and attaches without much effort. You will need a measuring tape, a heat gun, and a roller for square posts. You measure on the post where the sleeve will go, slide it over the post, and heat seal it in place. The roller is to push out weak spots such as wrinkles or air bubbles on square posts. Will Postsaver® Sleeves add life to a fence? The short answer here is yes, most definitely a yes. Think about what happens when a fence post is unprotected in the ground. It is open to attack from moisture, fence post rot, and all types of damaging conditions. Termites take advantage of fresh wood to lay their eggs and feed the larvae. Your heat-sealed Fence Armor Postsaver® Sleeves stop all attacks and do so for at least 20 years. You will be adding those years to your fence by attaching them to every post before it goes in the ground. When investing money in a new fence, add fence post protection and reap the rewards. Photo courtesy of Postsaver Are they good for the environment? Think how many trees and forests have to come down to make fence posts. All that felling and manufacturing isn’t good for the environment but make a difference by adding fence post protection. By increasing the fence life to 20 years, you will make a significant environmental impact. The Fence Armor Postsaver® Sleeves also stop the leaching of any preservatives in the wood back into the soil. There will also be less need to spray around the posts or add extra chemicals to protect the wood. Longer-lasting fence posts and using fewer chemicals can only be good for the environment. Call us - 888-289-5617 At Fence Armor® we know about fence post protection. Fence Armor Postsaver® Sleeves protect each fence post above and below the ground-line level. Increase your protection where the posts need it the most. Ask our experts for advice before building the new fence. Call us today for all your fence post protection needs.

How does the rot get into the fence posts? To know how to prevent fence post rot, you must know how it strikes in the first place. The crucial ground-line level is where all the action happens. This is the area about eight inches into the dirt, where rot likes to work. The ground-line level is where your fence posts are most vulnerable to attack. Moisture seeps into the post below ground from the dirt. The wood expands and contracts. Oxygen in the soil combines with other elements, making it perfect for rot to take an interest. The soft wood attracts all the bad guys, and soon the rot is eating away at your post. All the action happens where you can’t see it…until it is too late. You need post protection, and the ground-line level is where it goes. How does the Fence Armor® rot barrier work? Our Postsaver® Sleeves are the answer to your rot prevention problems.

When ready, slide the sleeve into place and angle the fence post to keep it steady. Run a heat gun gently over the rot barrier sleeves until the bitumen melts and seals to the wood. Use a roller to get out any wrinkles or air bubbles on square posts. When it dries, you can get to work burying the fence posts in the dirt.

Is there a better way to add curb value than having a well-kept fence in the front yard greeting visitors? Our list of what wood fence rot is and how to prevent it includes: A quick guide to wood fence rot Prevention is better than any cure Dry rot is a very big problem Adding Postsaver® Sleeves helps prevent rot in the ground Fence post caps are another weapon Let’s take a closer look at each point. A quick guide to wood fence rot Wood fence rot can happen where you can’t even see it starting. Deep in the soil, oxygen, and moisture combine to create perfect conditions for wood rot. Unfortunately, when you bury your fence posts in the dirt, you are putting them in the perfect place for rot to get started in the wood. When the conditions are right the wood fence rot starts to grow and prosper on each fence post. You cannot see it happening, but the rot eats away at the wood and weakens the structure. The rot quickly goes deep into any wood fence post, and you may not know it until the fence begins to sag. Prevention is better than the cure The good news is that there are steps to take before construction to prevent fence post rot. An easy one is to make sure you build the fence on well-drained soil and in areas that get a lot of sunlight. Keeping the fence away from wet, swampy land, if possible, is another top-of-the-list suggestion. Always line the bottom of the fence post hole with small gravel to help drain any excess moisture from the soil. Many landowners also bury their fence posts in concrete which can add to costs but will keep the post dry. You should always use top-quality, pressure-treated wood posts on the fence. Dry rot is a very big problem We know that wood fence rot can start beneath the soil and get to work on the fence posts. Dry rot, though, is a very big problem and one that you could miss if not careful. In sunny areas the wood fence is exposed to the sun’s rays for maybe five or six months of the year, and the wood will suffer. The sun’s rays dry out the wood very quickly - essential oils that protect the wood evaporate and leave the fence dry and brittle. Termites and other insects will find a home in the tasty wood. Fence Armor® recommends Stain and Seal Experts products to protect posts and rails from sun damage. Adding Postsaver® Sleeves helps prevent rot in the ground At Fence Armor® we offer the Postsaver® Sleeves, as they are a lasting layer of protection for every wood fence post. When you want to protect a fence post you will need that extra layer to keep the moisture and oxygen at bay. The good news is that Postsaver® Sleeves work and are easy to apply. Our Postsaver® Sleeves are heat-sealed to the fence post. To prevent fence post rot, they go on at the ground line level, covering the wood both above and below the soil. You need to order the right size for your posts and melt the bituminous inner sleeve to the post, when in place, with a heat torch. Fence Post Caps are another weapon Landowners often invest in all the right wood fence protection products but miss one essential spot. Yes, the top of the fence post is as exposed as the rest of the post and can actually come under a lot of attack. The sun dries out the wood allowing moisture to seep in and rot the post. Fence Armor® fence post caps are another weapon in the fight to prevent fence post rot. Our products are easy to apply and simple to remove as well when staining the wood during the annual maintenance. You can even add fence post cap decorative finials for that extra touch of style.

Every homeowner needs to protect the bottom of the fence. Down there, where the sun doesn’t shine, is where all the action happens. Weed wackers and trimmers eat away at the bottom of the fence and do lasting damage. The bottom of the fence is also where fence post rot starts. It is where termites get a hold and fungi prosper. You need to protect the bottom of the fence. At Fence Armor® we know how to protect the bottom of the fence. It is what we do, and we do it well. We love to help people get the fence post protection right, and we have the products to do the work.

Let’s take a closer look at each point. Postsaver® Sleeves protect the bottom of the fence The bottom of the fence, where the wood hits the dirt, is a prime post rot area. Any damage you can imagine happens down here. The soil conditions are ripe for ground-line rot, fungi, and moisture damage to occur. It is also where termites can get into the wood and start a family. Once they grow and eat their way out of the posts, it could be too late for the fence. Fence Armor® Postsaver Sleeves protect the fence post where you need it the most. The bituminous sleeve offers an air and water-tight pocket of fence post protection around the bottom of the fence. The Postsaver® Sleeves are heat-molded to the bottom of your fence and come in most fence post sizes. You can buy them in singles, packs of ten, or in rolls for larger fence projects. They are very easy to attach and, once in place, protect the bottom of the fence for many years. Do not forget the fence Post Guards With your Postsaver® Sleeves in place comes the time for protecting the fence posts from trimmer damage. If you look at an unprotected fence post, you will see the bottom is chipped and sliced to almost nothing. The damage from trimmers and weed wackers will destroy a fence post in only a few years. The Fence Armor® Post Guards are the only solution. We designed them to fit easily and quickly to the bottom of the fence posts. The Post Guards are American-made of American galvanized steel. They will not rust or deteriorate and protect the bottom of the fence for many years. A single screw on opposite sides of the fence posts holds them securely in place. Stain and seal the fence posts too Many people forget to stain and seal their wood fences regularly. Depending on the age of your fence, you may need to stain and seal it every couple of years. Wind, rain, cold, and ice, plus intense summer sun, can do a lot of damage to the bottom of the posts. If the coat of stain and seal washes away, then you will need to get to work. Always purchase factory-treated fence posts that are suitable for burying in the dirt. If you are using Fence Armor® Postsaver Sleeves and Post Guards, always stain and seal the wood before attaching them. We stock and recommend Stain & Seal Experts products for excellent fence post protection.
