LifeGuardTM post bases

Our unique LifeGuard post bases have been designed by Walpole engineers to protect fence, arbor, and pergola posts, extending the life of your investment for years to come.

They feature a 1 ¼" iron rebar, durable plastic pilot pipe, and a snug, secure collar. A concrete fill ensures unsurpassed post stability.

Why choose LifeGuards?

  • These bases are the perfect alternative to chemically treated posts in areas known for termite infestation.
  • They are the ideal solution where Sonotubes® are necessary – no need for pouring cement on site.
  • An eight inch diameter hollow base with 5" diameter hole allows condensation release.
  • Trapezoid shape of the top of the base negates heaving.
  • The lip at the bottom of the base gives more resistance to settling.
  • Post collars project 2” above ground level to prevent damage from weedwackers.

With LifeGuard post bases Walpole's handcrafted fence will maintain its elegant shape and true lines season after season, no matter the climate region or terrain.
