THE BEST FOUNDATION FOR POST FRAME BUILDINGS
Before you embark on your post frame building journey, there’s something crucial to consider: the foundation. Like any great endeavour, construction starts from the ground up, and having a solid foundation is paramount. Traditional methods often involve direct wood-to-ground contact, a technique that has stood the test of time but is not without its challenges, particularly when it comes to rot.
Enter Polesaver-PF, the ultimate solution for post frame buildings. This revolutionary product is designed to protect the critical groundline section of your poles, ensuring a sturdy foundation for years to come. With a 40-year rot prevention guarantee, Polesaver-PF is not just a promise; it’s peace of mind.
WHAT IS POLESAVER-PF?
Polesaver-PF is a dual-layer protective wrap that forms a barrier around the ground-line section of your poles, shielding them from moisture and preventing rot from taking hold.
It’s a simple yet effective solution that ensures your post frame building remains strong and durable for generations to come.
HOW DOES POLESAVER-PF WORK?
Polesaver-PF’s dual-layer, full protection barrier technology is the key to a 40 year guaranteed post life.
How does it work?
Polesaver–PF is a non-toxic, composite barrier wrap. It features a dual-layer construction with an outer thermoplastic sleeve and inner thermoplastic liner.
Upon heating, the liner melts, and the outer sleeve shrinks down tightly onto the pole to create a tough, air and watertight seal to the pole surface.
This air and watertight seal permanently excludes all the factors necessary for wood decay to occur, whilst also preventing loss of wood preservative. Polesaver – PF’s dual-layer technology makes conventional ground line decay impossible.
DUAL-LAYER PROTECTION
Polesaver-PF’s dual-layer barrier system is what sets it apart from every other solution on the market.
Unlike competitors it creates a true air and watertight seal around the posts surface, locking moisture/fungi out and preservative in.
Compared with single layer systems (partial barrier) which don’t create an air or watertight seal to the post’s surface, Polesaver-PF is in a league of it’s own.
