Post Shields 4x4 Post Protector - Fits Standard 3.5"x3.5" Wood or Metal Posts - 6in High - Easy Install, No Tools - Protects Mailbox, Deck and Fence Posts from Lawn Maintenance Equipment Damage

A fantastic product, wish I had thought of it. Fixes the post like a glove, easy to install without any tools although I did use a mullet at the end to make sure it was snug. I was the first to install in my neighborhood and now there's five of us.

My gardeners were chewing away at my new mailbox wooden post at the bottom. This guard arrived quickly and is very sturdy. Was not real easy to apply as it fits tight to the wooden post so I have the last piece I put in sticking up because I could not slide it all the way down but it's secure enough it should protect my post. Post was a bit wet from sprinklers when I installed it so will try to slide last panel all the way down when the post is dry and wood shrinks (4x4 post). I would buy it again!

Brilliant product. We have a composite type light post. Honestly, I have no idea what it’s actually made of, not wood, but after years of lawn care, the weed whacker ate off the bottom of the post. It looked terrible but a new post isn’t in the budget right now. This product saved the day, the bottom of the post is now covered and looks uniform again. We must have a standard size post because the 6x6 worked fine. One note, though, this thing is a bear to get together. You assembly 3 sides, put that over the post and then slide the last piece into place. Except mine wouldn’t slide all the way in and got stuck. I finally pulled it back up towards the top of the post where it’s thinner and then was able to get it to click into place. I then simply slid it back down the post. All in all, for a no tool product, I’m happy.

I like how this product not only shields my post from getting torn up by the weed eater, but it also gives the mailbox a nice finished look. It's like additional trim at the bottom that completes the look of the mailbox.

Diffuse to slide into slots

Unit items were fine, but wrong size.

Tight fit for a post that is painted and warm from the sun. Install on a cold day.

I spent a ton of time prepping and refinishing my deck over the past month. I wanted to cover the base of the posts, that have been chewed up by my weed eater, and found this product. I tried an adjustable metal set first that claimed to expand to cover a 6" x 6" and they just didn't look right. These are specifically designed for a 6" x 6" post, which is ACTUALLY 5.5" x 5.5". Very important to measure before you buy to make sure the dimensions are correct. They can be tricky to install, but it can be accomplished pretty easily by tapping with a hammer. After installing, I went a step further and secured them with one centered black screw per side as they can move around when using a weed eater. Two posts butt up against my concrete walkway, so I simply cut the ends off of two sides and slide them up against the concrete. The black screws hold the three sides nicely. I had to buy a $5 plexiglass cutter to cut the straight edge and it worked great. In summary, these post shields take a little effort to install and really make the deck look great. I highly recommend them and if Amazon is out, you can find them online from Home Depot.

Not easy to clip the last shield with the 3 others . It is plastic shield not clear on the advertising . I would not buy again this product

It was best fit and matches well with post by shielding.

These fit our 6x6 posts perfectly

It is not for 6x6 post it is for a 5.5x5.5… very cheap looking very thin. Was not worth the purchase.
