Post Protectors?


hey folks,

just wondering, is anybody using a "post-protector" or "post-sleeve" in post-frame buildings? for those of us that haven't seen these, they are a used for below-ground protection of 4x4 or 6x6 posts. they seem like a good idea. anybody have experience with these?

I'd think a tar-like waterproofing compound (i.e. foundation waterproofing) on a post rated for below ground use would work just as well.
