The Postsaver SAV 2 Post Rot Protector is an innovative, professional-grade heat-shrink sleeve engineered to dramatically extend the life of machine-round wooden stakes and posts by preventing rot and decay at the vulnerable ground line. Designed to fit timber round posts with a diameter of 50mm to 85mm, this dual-layer barrier system creates an airtight, watertight seal that blocks moisture, oxygen, and fungal spores—the three primary causes of timber failure in ground-contact applications.
Ideal for use in tree planting, fencing, landscaping, agriculture, and forestry, the SAV 2 sleeve combines a polyethylene outer layer with a bituminous inner sealant that bonds tightly to the wood, forming a long-lasting, rot-proof barrier at the soil line. This technology ensures proven in-ground durability for 20+ years, helping you reduce the need for frequent replacements and saving on materials, labour, and environmental costs.
Simple to apply, the Postsaver SAV 2 can be installed using a 2KW+ hot air gun or gas blowtorch. With minimal tools required and fast application time, it’s the professional’s choice for safeguarding valuable timber investments in the field. Whether you're installing fencing posts, tree stakes, or agricultural supports, the SAV 2 makes timber last longer—guaranteed.
