What happens here

This video demonstrates a simple and effective method for preventing decay in wooden fence posts using specialized preservative sticks. The process involves drilling a hole into the post, inserting the preservative stick, capping the hole, and optionally marking the treatment date with a 'date coin'. This method extends the lifespan of fence posts and utility poles for up to 10 years per treatment, saving significant replacement costs.

Have you ever wondered how posts like utility poles are able to hold up long term without decaying? The answer is post preservative. And yes, you can and should use this on your fence posts, too. These things have been the standard for utility pole protection for over 25 years. And they're surprisingly cheap. For just $88, you can protect 24 4x4 fence posts, which could end up saving you thousands over the life of an entire fence. All it takes is drilling a hole, inserting the preservative stick, and capping it off. It'll dissolve and disperse when moisture content exists that supports decay, protecting the post for up to 10 years from a single treatment. And you can easily reload and extend their lifespan even further with the same hole. They work on any shape, size, species, and age of wood. And we use them for all of our fence posts. [Music]
