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.

Never heard of these post savers before, but a great idea. Nice video buddy 💪👍

Always wrap mine with Denzo tape and my garden fence posts are still rock solid after 25 years.👍

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

Excellent little no nonsense presentation…wish I had known about them before. Too many others are too wordy.

Used to leave them soaking in a bucket of fence paint for a few days works wonders I noticed you clean your chimney with no mask or hoover the fine soot particle's in Chimneys contain carcinogens which can be deadly to humans so mask up & stay safe !

Great instructional video 👍

We may need a video about your dog too at some point. He could be your channel mascot.

I paint mine with bitumen paint 3 coats.
I also attach galvanised garage wall ties flattened with a 4lb lump hammer front and back of each post for extra strength.

This should work for some of my sculptures I've cemented in for patrons!

Hi Fowler, I just subscribed. Good stuff you're putting up, thank you. John-Usa

They sell these in the US at places like Lowes and Home Depot. Since they cost the same as a 4x4x6' or 8' pt wood post, most people won't use them especially if they are doing the job for a customer, unless the customer wants them and has a lot of extra money to burn. I use to always use a brush on liquid quick dry that has copper in it. I put a bunch of 4x4 PT post in the ground 25 years ago and they are still mostly doing fine. It's $20 per qt now so it's also pricey, but much faster to apply. Had to replace a couple a few years ago, but it might have been a bad piece of wood to start with.

These post savers are fine as far as they go. I have used a post boot before now, which is basically the same thing but encases the entire lower 80cm of the post. The problem is that they won’t stop the post rotting if unbeknownst to you, your neighbours raise the level of their soil to the top of the gravel board. Meaning the gravel board and then your post rotting out at the very top of the post saver! It would be far better if the UK timber industry actually tannilised the posts properly. Here in the UK timber is ‘dipped’ in the treatment chemical rather than pressure injected. The outward look of the two types of treatment appears identical, enabling the UK producers to sell their ‘treated’ timber at premium prices but at a minimum of the production cost thus maximising their profits. However if you took two identical posts, one from the UK and one from my native NZ and cut them in half, you would see clearly that the green tannilisation goes right to the centre of the NZ post but only 10mm in from the surface of the UK post. That is why UK posts rot!

Brilliant. I didn't know you could get such a thing. I have subscribed. 🙂

[ChrisBardgett]

Nice one 😊 Does it work on round posts?

[philipdavisonsawdust]

My boy has already told me about it mate he do use them ❤

[nafcd]

I cant say i have used any of your tips yet but you do put out very interesting videos. I have never seen or heard of post savers. Here in nz we just use treated posts. Is that an option in the UK.

Having installed a few 4” posts for my fence and not protecting them like this 🤦 I regretted not black jacking them as Id never heard of this method. Thanks for this, are these widely available? 👍🏼
