PROTECTING GARDEN POSTS
Follow these steps for protecting garden posts against wood rot. For example, the posts used for fences, pergolas and swings.
Step 1
Determine the part of the garden post that is going to be under the ground and add a couple of extra centimetres. This is the part that has to be treated.
HANDY TIPS
- Minimum working temperature +5°C.
- Rubber Seal provides the best protection with a minimum layer thickness of 2 mm.
- Cut the Rubber Seal Textile Tape to size before starting the work to ensure easy application.
- In case of outdoor applications: do not apply if there is a chance of rain within 12 hours.
Step 2
Sand the part of the surface to be treated with a scouring pad or sandpaper. Ensure the surface is dry and free of dust and grease.
Step 3
Manually stir the Rubber Seal until you have a uniform colour.
Step 4
With a brush, apply a layer of Rubber Seal to the sides and bottom of the post.
Step 5
Wait approximately 10 minutes, then apply a second coat of Bison Rubber Seal.
Step 6
Allow the treated posts to completely dry. Rubber Seal is dust-free dry after approximately 3 hours. After 48 hours, it is fully cured, depending on the amount applied and ambient circumstances.
Step 7
Place the posts in the ground so that the top of the treated section remains a few centimetres above ground level.
