For 18-years, Post Protector has provided simple, slide-on barrier protection for in-ground posts. Remove the ground contact and extend post life. The Post Protector 4 in. x 4 in. x 30 in. Fence Post Protector is a chemical-free solution to improved post life, designed to eliminate ground contact where micro-organisms in the soil feed on wood fiber. This post protector model doesn't require hardware or fasteners and therefore doesn't offer the same uplift protection like our other models but is perfect for fences and other shallow embedment applications where post holes are dug at around 2 ft. The fence post protector can be used for embedments greater than 2 ft. as well. It separates the first 2 ft. of the post from the soil which is the most critical part of the post. The soil below 18 in. does not contain enough oxygen for wood-eating microbes to thrive and cause rot and decay. This fence post protection takes advantage of this fact as a price-leader in the Post Protector product line.
For additional information on this product, please see the Product Documents section for all downloadable user manuals, installation guides, brochures and warranty statements.

Q: Is this rated for encasement in concrete? Can it be used on gate posts?
a year ago- A: Product can be encased in concrete. This should work on a Gate post as long as it's a wooden post application and has a shallow embedment where post are sunk 24 in. to 30 in.a year agoHelpful?
Q: are these post protectors used with cement or just backfilled
3 years ago- A: Here is a link to the instruction manual: https://media.tractorsupply.com/is/content/TractorSupplyCompany/tsc/product/1/54/84/22/1548422_Man1.pdf3 years agoHelpful?
Q: I bought the 4x4x42 inch by mistake. Can you cut to size?
5 years ago- A: Yes, it can be cut.5 years agoHelpful?
Q: What keeps water from running down post and getting between post and protector?
5 years ago- A: The manual suggests drilling optional drainage holes. "Optional Drainage Holes- On building will have posts subjected to the elements, (pavilion, open sided building, porch post, etc.) Drill out drainage hole dimples. These dimples are centered on all (4) sides of the base “horizontal” uplift rib. They allow drainage for rainwater running down the post and through the Post Protector. We suggest 4” – 6” of drainage stone for initial backfill material. On enclosed buildings, most builders will utilize (1) drainage hole so any (during construction) rainwater can drain. Others prefer to shrink wrap the top of the Post Protector after posts are set & remove wrap when the building is weathered in."5 years agoHelpful?
