Postsaver™ Post Protector Sleeve for 80mm Round Posts - Per Piece

Are you looking for protection against wood rot? Wovar offers the postsaver post protector sleeve, which can double the lifespan of your posts. This means you can enjoy fences, pergolas, play sets, and other wooden constructions much longer. This protector sleeve is 35 cm long and can be used with round posts with an 80 mm diameter.

How does the postsaver protector sleeve work?

The postsaver consists of two layers: an outer layer of polyethylene, and an inner layer of fusible bitumen, which adheres to the post. You apply them with a gas burner, which causes the inner layer to melt and shrink around the post. The protector sleeve is now tightly bound to the post and acts as a protective layer. Because the sleeve covers the part of the post that will be in the ground, the post will not rot.

Fitting a protector sleeve

Before placing the post protector on the post, the wood must be completely dry. This prevents internal rotting of the post. 

• Determine the position of the post and the insertion depth.
• Draw a line on the post at ground level, add 5 cm to this, and draw another line.
• Place the top of the sleeve on the top line, so the postsaver will be 5 cm above the ground.
• Hold a gas burner about 30 to 40 cm from the pole. The sleeve should be tight around the post within 6 to 30 seconds. Make sure to also burn 5 cm above and below the post, so the post protector adheres well. Slowly turn the pole while burning.
• Let cool for 5 minutes, and the post is ready to go into the ground.
