Product Information
Full details
Designed for homeowners and professional landscapers alike, the WALTHER STRONG Post Tape is an essential solution for extending the structural life of wooden fence and gate posts. Its primary benefit is the creation of a high-performance, watertight barrier that prevents the decay caused by moisture, oxygen, and UV exposure at the vulnerable ground-line zone. While it provides robust, long-term protection against rot, users should ensure the timber is free of large debris before application to ensure the adhesive bonds fully to the wood grain.

FAQs
Can I use this on posts that are already in the ground?
Yes, but you will need to excavate the soil around the base of the post to apply the tape to the area below the ground level for complete protection.
Does this tape work on both treated and untreated wood?
Yes, it is designed to be compatible with all common timber types and treatments.
How many posts will one 20m roll cover?
This depends on the thickness of your posts. For a standard 100mm x 100mm post, a 20m roll is more than sufficient for multiple posts.
Is the tape affected by hot summers or freezing winters?
The tape is UV stable and remains flexible in extreme temperatures, meaning it won't become brittle in the winter or melt/slide in the heat.
Can the tape be painted over?
While the tape is designed for durability and weather resistance, it is not primarily intended as a base for paint. It is best used as a functional barrier.
Troubleshooting
Tape is not adhering correctly to the wood
Ensure the surface is free from loose dirt or excessive standing water; press down firmly along the entire surface of the tape to activate the pressure-sensitive adhesive.
Tape is difficult to reposition
The adhesive is designed to cure for a permanent bond; if you need to adjust it, do so immediately after the initial wrap before the polymer fully sets.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly extends the service life of timber posts
- Can be applied to damp wood surfaces
- Easy to tear and apply by hand
- Provides a permanent, non-cracking seal
- Compatible with both treated and untreated timber
Cons
- Requires careful alignment during initial wrapping
- Surface must be reasonably clean for best results
- The 200mm width is specifically optimized for posts and may be excessive for smaller trim work
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply, ensure the post surface is free of loose dirt, moss, or thick debris. While the tape is capable of bonding to damp timber, extreme saturation should be avoided for the initial adhesion phase. Simply pull the desired length, tear by hand, and press firmly against the wood. The tape is compatible with both chemical and non-chemical wood treatments, making it a universal choice for landscape projects. No special care is required once applied, as the UV-stable properties protect the adhesive seal from the environment indefinitely.
