Installation

Rotbloc Installations

Installing Rotbloc products is a straightforward process designed for accuracy, efficiency, and long-term reliability. Whether it’s a large-scale utility project, an agricultural application, or a residential build, our barrier systems are engineered for simple installation with standard tools.

This page serves as your guide to understanding the general process before accessing product-specific instructions. Each Rotbloc product is supported by detailed documentation that outlines the correct preparation, wrapping, and securing procedures to ensure full protective performance in the field.

Chemically Treated Pole Installation

Measure and add two inches for the overlap. Cut along vertical 2 in. increment guidelines with a utility knife. Wrap post tightly and tack it with a tack hammer and construction grade 1/2 in. steel staples down the seam.

Ranch Fencing Perforated Installation

Perforated rolls can be ordered in single, pallet and truckload quantities. Orders can be customized to your specific dimensions in the 13.5, 20 and 30 inch commercial ag rolls.
Tear down the seam.
Wrap your pole tightly with a 2 inch overlap.
Use a tack hammer with construction grade steel staples, and tack down the seam from top to bottom.
Set your pole with the groundline indicator level with your groundline, with two inches of ROTBLOC showing above the groundline to protect from the soil, UVA and moisture which break down
and weaken your wood fibers.

ROTBLOC 4X4 Installation

With two inches above your ground-line, align your groundline with the word “groundline” on the 4X4 sheet of ROTBLOC and tack down from top to bottom with a tack hammer and construction grade staples.
Wrap all four sides, tacking down from the top to bottom.
REPEAT
With a two inch overlap on your last side, tack down tightly from top to bottom to finish wrapping your post. Tack all the way to the bottom.
When ROTBLOC has been wrapped, your post should sit with two inches of ROTBLOC showing above the ground to protect against the soil, UVA and moisture damage which weakens the wood fibers above the groundline.

ROTBLOC 6X6 Installation

With two inches above your ground-line, align your groundline with the word “groundline” on the 6X6 sheet of ROTBLOC and tack down from top to bottom with a tack hammer and construction grade staples.
Wrap all four sides, tacking down from the top to bottom.
REPEAT
With a two inch overlap on your last side, tack down tightly from top to bottom to finish wrapping your post.
Tack all the way to the bottom.
When ROTBLOC has been wrapped, your post should sit with two inches of ROTBLOC showing above the ground to protect against the soil, UVA and moisture damage which weakens the wood fibers above the groundline.

Simple, Fast, and Reliable Installation

Rotbloc’s installation process is built on practical engineering. Every product—whether protecting utility poles, decking posts, fencing systems, or agricultural structures—follows the same principle: clean the surface, measure and cut the wrap to size, align the ground-line indicator, overlap by two inches, and secure with stainless staples. This unified system minimizes training requirements, shortens setup time, and ensures consistent results across all applications.
