Post Boot -- Underground

Woodcrafter74

Anyone heard of postboots for 6x6 or 4x4 posts to protect the underground portion of the post? I ran across postsavers at the deck show last year, but those are factory applied. I'm looking for something that could be applied in the field. I'm sure I saw them in a trade magazine somewhere, but now that I need them I can't find them.

Thanks!

I've often wondered about a product like that, never seen one, but wondered.

Good luck in finding one, and if, when you do, post a link please.

Maybe we invent it.

I'm thinking some type of rubber membrane, slightly larger than the post. Apply some heat/flame to it in the field and it shrinks tight.

Anyone want to put up the capital?

Modified torch down roofing would work.
