How to Protect Fence Posts From a Weed Eater

Brush off the bottom of the post with a utility brush to remove any dirt or debris from the wood surface.

Align the metal post protector at the base of the post on the side that you most often trim along. If you trim along both sides, then you can apply protectors on both sides.

Drive the provided screws through the mounting holes in the sides of the plate into the fence post with a screw gun. Continue this process until all of the posts have been protected.
