Asphalt Tape Protects Wood Posts
Before you drop a wooden post in the ground, wrap it with WiseWrapTM LedgerTapeTM, says Roderick Kabel, marketing director for DeckWise. The 12-in. wide asphalt-base adhesive protects wood from water and rotting.
  “It’s an inexpensive way to protect deck or fenceposts compared to other products,” Kabel says. “It sticks extremely tight. It’s a water barrier, and it self-seals around nails, screws, bolts and staples.”
  With 3 to 4 in. above ground, most of the wrap is below ground to protect the wood about 6 in. down where rot typically occurs.
  One $38 roll is enough to cover 20 4 by 4 wooden posts with a 1-in. overlap. It’s easy to apply: remove the paper backing and press in place.
  Dealers for DeckWise® products can be found on the business’s website, and the company’s deck products can also be found through online stores.
