Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] This invention relates to mechanical sleeves that protect fence posts, mailbox posts, or any structure that is embedded into the earth, from deterioration from environmental elements and mechanical abrasion such as weed cutting devices. The sleeve is designed to surround the post or other structure and drain water away from the structure, thereby reducing corrosion from metallic structures and reducing degradation from biological agents and attendant rotting.

[0002] While a preferred embodiment of the invention will be illustrated with respect to protecting wooden fence posts from attack by rotary string trimmers used in landscaping and ground maintenance operations it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to this application, but has wider utility in connection with protecting any in-ground object which is subject to repeated attack by equipment which has the tendency of destroying the aesthetic appearance or the structural integrity of the...
