The Last Fence Posts You'll Ever Install - Revolutionary PostSaver Technology Meets Factory Pre-Staining

Tired of replacing rotted fence posts every 5-7 years? Done with the nightmare of digging out failed posts surrounded by concrete? Our PostSaver-equipped pre-stained posts eliminate the #1 cause of fence failure while delivering a professional finish that's impossible to achieve in the field.

PostSaver Technology - Revolutionary Ground Contact Protection 

Each post includes the patented PostSaver sleeve system that creates an impermeable barrier between your cedar post and ground moisture. This technology extends post life from 7-10 years to 20+ years by eliminating the rot zone where 90% of fence failures occur.

Six-Sided Factory Stain Penetration

Every surface receives our proprietary EXPERT stain application, including the critical end grain areas that absorb the most moisture. Unlike field-applied stain that can't reach buried portions, our factory process ensures complete protection from ground level to post top.

Kiln-Dried Structural Stability

Our cedar posts are kiln-dried to optimal moisture content (3.5" x 3.5" x 8' actual dimensions) before staining, eliminating the checking, splitting, and warping that plague green lumber. Your fence stays plumb and true for decades.

Total Cost of Ownership Advantage 20-Year Investment Analysis:

  • Standard Posts: $15 + replacement every 7 years = $150+ per post (including labor, concrete removal, reinstallation)
  • Gopherwood PostSaver Posts: $43.99 one-time investment
  • Your Savings: 70%+ plus eliminate replacement labor and disruption

Installation Excellence

No waiting for post-installation staining. No masking existing fence sections. No cleanup of stain overspray on concrete footings. Install today, admire tonight - with a foundation engineered to match the longevity of your premium Gopherwood fence system.
