Postsaver® USA boots and sleeves offer a unique solution to prevent decayed posts, it's non-toxic and a revolutionary concept for protecting in-ground wood from the harmful effects of ground contact decay.
Postsaver® USA's advanced technology is laboratory proven, termite tested, and is building code compliant.
Postsaver® USA's boots and sleeves are not sold separately, but applied to wood using a specialized production machine. The material you purchase arrives pre-applied to posts and poles - ready for easy installation.
Here's how Postsaver® USA products work: The vulnerable area of a post is shrink-wrapped with a heavy-duty UV stabilized polyethylene boot that has been pre-coated on the inside with bitumen (similar to asphalt). The application process melts the sticky bitumen under-layer and drives it into the wood while a tough polyethylene outer-layer shrinks tightly to encase the melted bitumen underlayer. When combined together and shrink-wrapped to a lumber post, the polyethylene boot and the bitumen prevent decayed posts. The SmartPost® sold by Advanced Solutions not only prevents decayed posts with the Postsaver® USA boot but also provides uplift restraint notches in the post to prevent uplift.
Postsaver® USA's boots and sleeves are very durable and designed to withstand post-driven applications in most soil substrates.
