How do you prevent grass trimmer damage? It’s an important question because grass trimmer damage only means a short life for your fence posts.

Our team of experts designed a product that not only prevents grass trimmer damage but looks great too. Our Fence Armor Posts Guards are easy to assemble, last for years, and, what’s more, do their job. Nothing wrong with a product that does all that and more.

Post Guards prevent grass trimmer damage
Fence Armor Post Guards are designed for fence post protection. You know the problem when the mower cannot get around the fence posts to cut the last of the grass, and the area looks neglected. Out comes the trimmer to clear the grass, but it shreds the fence post in the process.
Our Post Guards fit around the base of every fence post. Made from the best of North American steel, these post guards will not crack, buckle, or split under pressure. The Fence Armor Post Guards are powder-coated so as not to rust or blemish under the toughest weather conditions.
They are easy to fit onto the fence posts
Many products claiming to offer fence post protection can be difficult to assemble. A piece of work you want to do in the morning may take the whole weekend. Our team wanted the Fence Armor Post Guards to do their job and fit easily on fence posts.
Fence Armor Post Guards come in two pieces of galvanized steel. They also come in various sizes for every post width, including round posts, and we have a selection of differing heights. All you need to do is attach the interlocking Post Guards to either side of the fence post and screw them into place.
Fence post protection for many years
Once you have the Fence Armor Post Guards in place, you need not worry about how to prevent grass trimmer damage again. The solid, galvanized steel post protectors need little maintenance and will keep the fence safe for years. You can remove them and take them with you if you move home.
When doing essential fence post maintenance like staining and sealing the wood posts, you can easily remove the Post Guards. They will not crack or rust, so you need not worry about taking them off the posts, although it is recommended for better application of the stain and seal. After the fence post dries, you can reattach the post guards with the original screws.
Post Guards work on mailbox posts and vinyl fences too
You will also need to prevent grass trimmer damage to the mailbox post. All that trimming will nick and cut the post and leave it open to the weather. Vinyl fences are popular, and the manufacturing standards are very high. Unfortunately, vinyl fence posts aren’t safe from the grass trimmer.
Do not worry as Fence Armor Post Guards will prevent grass trimmer damage to mailbox posts and vinyl fences. They fit the posts like the wood fence posts and do the same great work of fence post protection. The deck posts need protecting, so don’t forget to add the guards at the same time.
Prevents damage from other sources
Curb appeal is very important to every homeowner. Your fence, deck, and mailbox will add extra curb appeal when you maintain and protect them. Our Post Guards will prevent grass trimmer damage, and the damage caused by pets, wildlife, and rodents.
Your favorite cat will sharpen its paws on the base of the fence post. Fido will gnaw at a fence post when he is a puppy but do lasting damage. Rodents and wildlife can chew and kick at a fence post, nicking and cracking it. Fence Armor Posts Guard will protect fence posts from all sources of attack.

How To Cut The Grass Near a Fence
Fences are important features of a yard, not only defining the parameters but also keeping some things in and other things out. When your lawn butts up against the fence, the mower can’t reach the edges closest to the fence, leaving that job to the weed trimmer.
A weed trimmer, however, can beat up your fence over time, and for stained wood panels, the damage is noticeable right away. If the grass or weeds along the fence isn’t trimmed, it becomes a place where pests can nest, and it can encourage mold and mildew along the bottom of wooden fences from the shady and moist conditions overgrown grass will provide. The kind of fence you have will define how you should approach keeping the grass along it trim.
Trimming Along Fences
No matter what kind of fence you have, the direction of your weed eater’s head spinner will matter. Most trimmers spin counterclockwise, and for those models, it’s best to move from the right to the left. This is so the string catches the blades of grass for a clean cut. For spinners that spin clockwise, it’s best to move from the left to the right of the fence line to get the best trim from the weed eater.
For wood and wire fencing, trimming will need two passes for the most effective job. The first pass should cut as close as possible to the fence without touching the material; some grass along and under the fence will remain. The second pass will be a gentle, up close trimming to get the remaining blades of grass.
Different kinds of fences require a specific approach based on their materials and design. Your yard may have one of the following types of fences:
How To Trim Along A Solid Or Slated Fence
When it comes to solid or slated fences, the wire of a weed trimmer will not only wear down as it beats against the wood or vinyl material, it will leave marks and slowly chip away at the fence over time. The posts in solid fencing can make small spots where the string can’t get with a single quick pass.
After the first trim gets as close as possible without touching the fence, you can approach the closer trim in a couple of ways depending on the type of weed trimmer you have. For both electric and gas trimmers, a low power setting will decrease the pressure the trimming wire and the fencing will be put under to get a trim right against the fence.
It may take some maneuvering to get all of the grass along the fence. For shadow box fences, that have one row of open spaced panels along either side of the posts, grass can grow under and in between the slats. The trimmer may need to be tilted at an angle to trim under the fence.
For fence posts that create corners, the direction of the weed eater will affect its ability to get those extra blades that evade the reach of a normal pass. If you have an electric trimmer, you can simply turn it over so the spinner goes in the opposite direction to get into the problem corner.
If you have a gas trimmer, you might not be able to tilt it completely because the fuel feed can be interrupted from the shifting position.
How To Trim Along A Chain Link Fence
For chain link fences that have lots of open spaces between their woven wire, a gentle approach is the best way to manage the task. Those open spaces allow grass to easily grow through and around the wiring, making it accessible to your trimmer, but harsh on the trimmer’s wire (and potentially damaging to the chain links as well).
On your second pass along the fence line, you should set the weed trimmer on the lowest power, near idle, to gently trim in between the links. This will keep any damage on the fencing to a minimum, keep the trimming wire from wearing down as quickly, and trim the grass cleanly.
How To Trim Along A Rail Fence
Rail fences are popular on larger properties. They may be made with wood or wire along wood or metal posts. Since they are more common in yards with more acreage, the best way to trim weeds under and along these fences is with a fence trimmer attachment for a tractor or riding mower.
While the bottom spaces on these fences are open and accessible with a normal weed trimmer, the length of these fences makes it impractical to do with a normal weed trimmer. A fence lawn mower attachment has a cutting blade on a swing arm with an adjustable height that cuts under the fencing and gently bumps against posts, dragging around them as you go.
How Do You Separate Grass From Fence Line?
While some people like the lawn to reach right up to the fence, others prefer to create some space between the fence and the lawn edge. This can be done by adding a mulch growing area along the fence line. Brick, other stone, and edging barriers can also be used to create a clean grass edge before it reaches the fencing.
Mulch
Creating a mulch planting space along the fence helps reduce the need for trimming against it. This area can be used to plant bushes, trees, or flowers, and the mulch will prevent grass from growing on that ground. The mulch can be separated from the grass with stones or edging barriers, or by creating a small border ditch, called spade edging, that has to be maintained but allows an open edge of the lawn.
Edging Barriers
Metal, plastic, or wood edging barriers can be installed to keep the mulch and the grass separate and prevent spread of the lawn towards the fence. An edging barrier has to be several inches deep in the ground to prevent grass roots from extending.
Bricks And Stone
Bricks and paving stones can be laid under fencing to create an impermeable barrier to grass growth, or installed as a mulch border to keep the grass and mulch areas separate. In any case, stones must be laid on compact, tampered ground to be sure they don’t shift. Mortar helps create a foundation and fill in gaps between bricks or stones to be sure no grass gets through.
A concrete barrier can also be installed in-ground as a mowing strip under fencing or along with mulch, or above ground as a barrier to keep mulch separate from grass.
