Wood post rot starts at the base of the post - at the grade because of soil to wood contact. Microbes, moisture and fungus cause wood rot. Rot needs four elements to start and survive. It cannot spread if it never starts. There is not enough oxygen a few inches below the ground or fuel for rot to exist.The posts rot where they exit the earth (soil), moisture and the elements cause the decay. The base of the post must be protected form soil. Most home owners have observed this over the years, and all fence contractors know this fact. The fence posts rot and snap off right at ground level, or just below the ground, where the rot has spread. Under ground the post still remains intact. The fence boards that are not in contact with the soil most of the time are still in good shape and have many years of life left in them. You shouldn't have to replace an entire fence because the fence posts rot! The Post Collar's Are Well Designed, Very Sturdy And Made In The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA No Light weight plastic we have designed these to last! The rust-resistant galvanized steel shell protects from lawn equipment damage! One nick from a weed eater on a pressure treated post will expose the lumber that is untreated and be susceptible to rot. The Post Collar protects from damage caused by machinery. The fungus-resistant treated Butyl adhesive creates a seal around the post protecting the post from the elements that cause rot. Fasteners (nails or screws) self seal much like roofing repair, not damaging the lumbers resigns or pressure treatment. In cold weather climates where the concrete freezes and cracks or what is called thaw/freeze. The Post Collar creates a buffer between the post and concrete eliminating this problem by actually stretching. Inexpensive, installs in minutes, and significantly increases the lifespan of a wood post. Save trees, save money and eliminates the need to replace your fence for decades!
