The Future of Pole Protection

Why is Poleguard Needed?

All fenceposts, signposts, fencing rails and more, all suffer the same fate. They all rot or rust near ground level and require protection using preservatives or barriers such as paint. If you are a council that has to pay for fencing near the seafront, then the whole fence is under attack and painting becomes a regular and expensive occurence. Regardless of the location or purpose, in all instances, replacement and maintenance is going to be very costly to you.

Depending on location there are other things that can cause damage. In heavy footfall areas posts can be vandalised and paint can be scratched off, dog urine can damage the base and when situated by roads, stones can chip the paint, causing water ingress and the process of degrading and destroying your key assets.

If these problems affect you, your department or your business, Poleguard is your effective answer to the problems of rot and rust, and the answer of how to extend the life of your assets which are made of wood, steel, aluminium and even composites. Importantly, Poleguard is the answer that does not have any negative effects on the environment like creosote, which is still allowed to be used on utility and telegraph poles, even though it has been banned for all other uses due to its toxicity and carcinogenic effects.

What is Poleguard?

Creosote has been effective but has well understood downsides which have caused its ban. There have been replacement treatments, but nothing that performs in the same way. Have the replacements failed to give you equivalent performance?

Poleguard is a patent pending polymer coating, which provides a robust seal against the elements and physical damage, which unlike creosote, does not leach into the environment.

How does Poleguard achieve this?

Simply put, rust and rot occur when water, oxygen and / or bacteria are all present. By preventing either of these (particularly water), rust and rot won’t occur. By creating a strong and completely waterproof sealed coating, Poleguard prevents damage from happening in the first place.

To confirm the capabilities of Poleguard, a test was constructed to mimic signposts by the roadside, being hit by small stones. A standard painted steel post was left 50% painted, and 50% coated with Poleguard. The pole then had small stones thrown at high velocity from a rotating drum to see what damage was caused. Once this was complete, the post was then placed in an accelerated weather testing chamber. The results presented in the picture below, clearly show the painted section rusting where the paint has chipped after being damaged by the stones.

Poleguard’s coating is completely undamaged, maintains its 100% waterproof status and apart from rust run off, still looks new.

Is It Really Any Good?
