Lumber prices are projected to continue rising through 2025 due to high demand and potential tariffs. Based on current market research, board fencing companies charge a minimum of $100 or more to replace a single 4x6 wood post.  Assuming a replacement cost of $100 per 4x6 post, Brella can protect a minimum of 25 4x6 posts.  Quantity pricing can protect even more posts for this same replacement cost.

Pressure treatment slows down the growth of fungi and bacteria that cause wood rot, but it doesn't eliminate it completely. The end grain of pressure-treated wood is susceptible to wood rot, even though it has been treated.  The top end grain surface of fence posts are constantly exposed to the elements (sun/UV, rain, humidity, and freezing temperatures) and if not properly protected, will in most cases likely exhibit premature wood rot years before the expected life of the pressure-treated wood post.  SCF Solutions encourages readers to do their own research regarding this matter.

Brella is the only post cap available on the market today specifically designed for post tops cut at an angle. Furthermore, the design features a “tail” that inherently self-adjusts to accommodate the post-to-post angle variances in which the post tops were cut.

Depending on several variables, early signs of end grain wood rot may begin to occur as early as two years after installation. If the top surface of your post feels soft like a sponge after it has rained, this indicates early signs of wood rot.

Not entirely. Painting your fence on a regular basis is highly recommended as it does provide a barrier to moisture.  However, water is a force of nature and can still penetrate the cracks in the top end grain surface leading to premature wood rot.
