Turncraft Post Defense Colonial porch posts are turned from finger-jointed, kiln dried western wood species. All turned surfaces are factory sanded.
Since moisture is one of the primary problems in fungal wood decay, Post Defense posts are factory sealed on the bottom end. This end must never be trimmed - doing so will void the Limited Lifetime warranty. (Always trim from the top of the post when cutting to fit porch height.) This sealer provides an effective method of controlling moisture and inhibiting the growth of fungal decay. Our specially formulated 100% acrylic latex primer is applied, adding to the prevention and control of moisture and fungal decay. A Turncraft PostSaver ABS Post Block, aluminum plinth, or other elevated platforms are required on each post, and posts must be properly painted for warranty coverage.
