Maximum Fence Post Protection for High-Traffic & Commercial Landscapes
Protect, restore, and extend the life of your fence posts with Fence Armor® PostGuard™ 6” Tall Full Post Guard™.
Designed for homeowners, fence contractors, HOAs, landscapers, golf courses, farms, commercial properties, and municipal applications, the 6-inch version delivers extended protection where fence posts are most vulnerable to weed trimmers, lawn mowers, moisture, pets, and everyday maintenance equipment.
Unlike plastic post shields that can crack, fade, or shift over time, Fence Armor® Post Guards are manufactured from durable 22-gauge galvanized North American steel and provide long-lasting 360° protection around the base of your fence post.
Why choose the 6″ version?
The 6” Tall Pro-Series Post Guard™ is ideal for high-maintenance properties where standard-height protection may not be enough.
For HOA communities, golf courses, apartment complexes, parks, commercial landscapes, and municipal properties, the taller design helps reduce visible fence damage caused by repeated trimming and mowing.
It is also a fast way to restore curb appeal on aging fences by covering scarred, chipped, or weathered post bases without replacing the entire fence.
The extra 6-inch height is especially effective for:
Covering existing weed trimmer damage
Protecting freshly stained, painted, or sealed fence posts
Guarding posts in aggressive maintenance areas
HOA common areas and commercial landscapes
Split rail fences and perimeter fencing
Mailbox posts exposed to repeated trimming
Deck posts, pergolas, playgrounds, and swing sets
Protecting exposed portions of Fence Armor® RotGuard™ installations
The added height allows protection slightly above and below grade, helping shield common impact zones on wood, vinyl, composite, and mailbox posts.
Built for Long-Term Fence Preservation
Fence posts typically fail at ground level first, where repeated impact, moisture, and organic exposure gradually break down the protective surface of the post.
Common causes include:
- Weed trimmer damage
- Lawn mower impacts
- Chipped stain or paint
- Moisture intrusion
- Insects and fungal exposure
Fence Armor® helps interrupt that cycle by creating a durable physical barrier around the most vulnerable portion of the post.
For maximum fence longevity, many contractors pair the 6” Post Guard™ with Fence Armor RotGuard™ below ground and Fence Armor CapClaw™ above ground to create a complete post protection system.
Professional Appearance with Simple DIY Installation
Each PostGuard™ includes matching color-coated screws and installs in minutes using a simple two-piece wraparound design that delivers a clean, professional appearance.
Available in multiple sizes and finishes to fit common residential and commercial post dimensions.
