Prevent Rotten Posts / Utility Poles

Preventing rotten posts with the best solutions for in-ground post and utility pole applications.

Preventing Post Rot The Green PostTM
is the right choice for:

  • Structural applications and projects requiring the highest level of ground contact protection.
  • Applications where maximum protection from subterranean termites and soil organisms are required.
  • Applications where chemical migration from the wood into the soil is a concern (such as environmentally sensitive areas and agricultural settings).
  • Where technical opportunities exist to use above ground retention levels in ground contact applications or to enhance leachable systems (such as borates and fire retardant products).

Preventing Post Rot The Postsaver® Sleeve
is the right choice for:

  • There are many cost sensitive applications within the agricultural market and the light-duty fence industry where the use of the Postsaver® Sleeve may be the best choice.
  • Upon heating, the liner melts, and the outer sleeve shrinks down tightly onto the pole to create a tough, air and watertight seal to the post surface.
  • Postsaver® Sleeves only provide double-barrier protection at the groundline zone where post deterioration usually occurs. Tests show that the Postsaver® Sleeve enhancement will offer many years of additional service life to in-ground posts and they're backed by a guarantee.

Utility Pole Sleeve ProtectionThe PolesaverTM Sleeve
is the right choice for:

  • PolesaverTM sleeves are non-toxic, composite barrier sleeves that feature a dual-layer construction with an outer thermoplastic sleeve and inner, meltable bituminous liner that protect utility poles and light poles. They can also be used, depending on the need, for certain structural post-frame applications.
  • Upon heating, the liner melts, and the outer sleeve shrinks down tightly onto the pole to create a tough, air and watertight seal to the pole surface.
  • This seal permanently excludes all the factors necessary for wood decay to occur, making conventional ground line decay impossible.

Plasti-Skirt

Skirt Board ProtectionProtected Skirt Board

The Plasti-Skirt is the ideal compliment to the Green PostTM or PolesaverTM for post-frame construction. With the combination of Green PostTM or PolesaverTM and Plasti-Skirt the lower portion of a post-frame building around ground level is protected from the elements of decay.

Plasti-Skirt enhances quality and protection for post-frame buildings. Rot and decay of skirt boards can compromise a building structure with serious problems. Use Green PostTM or PolesaverTM and Plasti-Skirt for total protection and confidence on new buildings. View More Details
