20.500.12556/DiRROS-24937 Opportunities to reuse fence posts using metal footings Možnosti ponovne uporabe ograjnih kolov z uporabo kovinskih talnih nosilcev Residential wood fence posts may be dug directly into the ground, secured to a metal spike that goes into the ground, or secured to a concrete footing with a metal boot. It was hypothesized that, by keeping wood posts out of the ground, both spikes and boot attachments would increase protection against decay and termites and extend the service life of the posts. After 9 years of exposure in Kincardine, Ontario, Canada, at a site with decay and subterranean termites, we found that elevated fence post footings were associated with less biodegradation than posts dug directly into the soil. The spike and boot installations were particularly effective in reducing the incidence of termite attack under the conditions of this study. Spike and boot footings may offer a way to remediate posts by reusing the top portion of posts that were initially dug into the ground following a groundline failure. Leseni ograjni koli so lahko vkopani neposredno v tla, pritrjeni na kovinski čevelj, ki se zabije v tla, ali nameščeni na betonsko podlago s kovinskim čevljem. Domnevamo, da bi lahko tako kovinski čevlji, zabiti v zemljo, kot kovinski čevlji na betonski podlagi, ki preprečujejo stik lesa s tlemi, izboljšali zaščito pred razkrojem in termiti ter s tem podaljšali življenjsko dobo kolov. Po devetih letih izpostavitve v Kincardinu (Ontario, Kanada) na lokaciji, kjer vladajo razkroj in podzemni termiti, smo ugotovili, da so dvignjene podlage ograjnih kolov povezane z manjšim obsegom biološke razgradnje v primerjavi s koli, vkopanimi neposredno v tla. Kovinski čevlji, zabiti v zemlji, in kovinski čevlji na betonski podlagi so posebej učinkovito prispevali k zmanjšanju pogostosti napadov termitov. Kovinski čevlji, zabiti v zemlji, in čevlji na betonski podlagi lahko tudi omogočajo sanacijo obstoječih ograjnih kolov za ponovno uporabo zgornjega dela kolov, ki so bili prvotno vkopani v tla in so propadli v območju tal. decay fence posts MCA red pine reuse termites razkroj ograjni koli MCA rdeči bor ponovna uporaba termiti true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2025-12-30 11:44:31 2025-12-30 11:44:32 2026-02-11 04:01:05 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 25-31 Vol. 138 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-12-30 630*81(045)=111 2335-3112 10.20315/ASetL.138.3 263188483 ASetL-138_3_4.pdf ASetL-138_3_4.pdf 1 19176852690E49DCEE71C1E4866ADEE8 20eda7590996788c9b59e84732c78b7c2cc018f048dac3f55731c9fdcac2ec54 52ad7370-0677-11f1-88c7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=40265 Gozdarski inštitut Slovenije Acta Silvae et Ligni 0 0 0
