SmartPost® with its wood post, barrier wrap and uplift restraint notches offers builders and homeowners a better, easier and more economical alternative to pre-installed concrete piers and steel anchoring systems. It also provides a confident choice when choosing wood posts over composite posts, plastic posts or vinyl posts. In addition, full length structural SmartPosts® can be buried directly into the soil which provides unmatched structural benefits and improved lateral resistance for decks, pavilions and other structures such as pole buildings, pole barns and post-frame construction.
The SmartPost® barrier wrap technology offers the highest level of protection against the elements that cause ground contact decay of wood deck posts and wood pavilion posts - guaranteed [Limited Lifetime Warranty (pdf)].
SmartPost® is the best choice for your next deck or pavilion project because they are environmentally responsible, safe, building code compliant (ICC-ES Listed), laboratory proven and termite tested.
