Always wrap mine with Denzo tape and my garden fence posts are still rock solid after 25 years.👍
Yeah it's the same principle, thanks for your comment!
Cool never knew something like this existed. Last time I put in a wooden post I covered it with flashband and heated it up. these looks easier and cheaper. Cheers
They are super easy to use and the bonus is they are guaranteed for 20 years!
I use waste engine oil, always have done, never had one rot out yet.
Stand the post in the stuff for a few hours to get a good soak then in it goes and then paint the rest with the remaining oil.
I prefer oil from diesel engines as it leaves the post a nice dark oak colour when it's soaked in, then as it weathers it turns more chestnut colour.
This stuff looks like bitumen roof flashing with fancy printing on it.
Yeah, it is a bitchimen with a plastic heatshrink coating. The only advantage is it has been independently tested and guaranteed for 20 years.
Can't see them giving your money back if it rots before the 20 years has elapsed. Everyone just jumping on the band wagon
I wonder how well it stands up to getting clipped with the strimmer etc.
I reckon that 20year warranty would get bypassed at the slightest hint of abrasive or puncture damage.
Not knocking the video or you Fowler, you get video sponsor money where you can.
Maybe do a follow up on how it compares to other means of rot protection or wear and tear in the garden.
Great instructional video 👍
We may need a video about your dog too at some point. He could be your channel mascot.
Thanks for your comment! Every time i start doing something, he's straight there like a shadow! That's why he gets in most of my videos because i gave up trying to keep him out of the shots!
Never heard of these post savers before, but a great idea. Nice video buddy 💪👍
Thanks. im glad you like the video! 😁
My boy has already told me about it mate he do use them ❤
They are reasonably priced for the guarantee you get. I wish i knew about these when i put my fence up!
Great stuff, definitely would have stopped my pergola post rotting away at the bottom.
Hi, i am the same. I put a fence in 10 years ago, and out of 50 posts, half are now rotten. I wish i had known about these then as now i have got to replace them 😵
👍👍👍. Thank you Steve
Thanks for your comment!
Sound advice 👌
Thanks for your comment, im glad you liked the video!
Now how-to advice on removing just one fence post in the middle of the fence line and keep the horizontal boards with their vertical fence slats in place and attached all-the-while while replacing the old rotten post with the new one. 😱⁉️👀 🤔
Good idea, but i dont have such a dilemma. However i have done such a job a while ago. I used offcuts of wood to support the existing fence and then replaced the rotten fence post. It was a pain to do but sometimes you have no choice!
£3.50 per post + about £8 a post(depending on size) thats £11.50 ish,. I've just bought a concrete 8ft post for £16. Sorry mucka, and I do love your videos. Keep up the good work, to make people like me look stupid🤣👍
Lol, i think they are a good product to protect wooden posts, but concrete posts for fencing are definitely the best option!
@@FixitwithFowler 🤣
Or even better..concrete posts...lasts forever..ive had mine in 35 years, still look new...
I agree, i always use concrete posts for fencing, but sometimes people prefer wood or if you are building a pergola!
Sometimes people can't afford the extra for concrete
No, that's true. This is a great way of ensuring wooden posts last a long time!
@@CeleWolf ok, get wooden posts, and work out the cost of removing old rotted wooden posts and replacements after a few years, then thank me ..
Nice ! 👍
Thanks for your comment
I like the idea of these, but, I'm not keen on being able to see the post saver, as I'm due to fit a pergola with four posts & it'll spoil the look of the posts with black bitumen & melted plastic showing.
Yeah, it is a shame you can see them. I think the idea is to prevent moisture from the ground entering the post above ground level!
Great channel. Subscribed 👍
Is that the Makita DLS110 mitre saw?
Yeah thats right, amazing bit of kit. I have had it for about 12 months
@@FixitwithFowler fantastic, just bought one. Glad I went with the 36V instead of mains. Will be building a floating shelf next. week 👍
It is brilliant. Make sure you read the instructions as i never bothered then struggled with some adjustments (the bevel in particular). Two batteries last me all day with ease, so there is no problems there.
I just paint the bottoms with bitumen paint, cheaper and quicker.
Im sure that works great, but just not guaranteed for 20 years!
I'm surprised that the rot doesn't work it's way into the post from the uncovered bottom part.....
The rot can only form in the upper section of the soil where there is oxygen and moisture. that is what allows the fungi to grow and attack the wood.
