Description
PostSaver Sleeves are designed to significantly extend the life of your timber fence posts by protecting the most vulnerable section – the ground line. Suitable for 3 inch fence posts, these sleeves create a tough, waterproof barrier that helps prevent rot caused by moisture and fungal decay where posts enter the soil or concrete.
Made from a heat-shrinkable, bitumen-lined sleeve, PostSaver forms a tight seal around the base of the post when applied with heat. Once fitted, it protects the timber from water ingress, reducing the risk of early failure and costly replacements.

Ground-line rot is the most common cause of fence post failure. Even pressure-treated timber can deteriorate over time when constantly exposed to wet soil conditions. By protecting this critical area, PostSaver sleeves help ensure your fence remains strong and secure for longer.
Installation Overview
-
Slide the sleeve over the base of the 3 inch post.
-
Position it to cover the section that will sit below ground and slightly above ground level.
-
Apply heat evenly using a gas torch until the sleeve shrinks tightly around the timber.
-
Install the post as normal into soil or concrete.
Once fitted, the sleeve bonds closely to the timber, forming a durable protective layer designed to withstand long-term ground contact.
