Postsaver Uses

Timber Roadside Fencing

When specifying roadside fencing; durability, safety, and sustainability are crucial. Timber remains a leading material thanks to its sustainability, cost-effectiveness, ease of installation and low environmental impact. However, traditional wooden posts often fail prematurely at the ground-line, creating ongoing maintenance challenges and safety risks.

High Performance Roadside Fencing for Specifiers

Postsaver +PLUS rot protectors provide a proven, independently tested solution that deliver a 40-year post replacement guarantee when applied to UC4 treated timber. This gives specifiers the reliability and performance assurance needed for modern roadside fence installations that meet stringent roadside fencing regulations and sustainability expectations.
