The 1.2m Plastic Open Mesh Tree Guard is a durable and highly effective solution for protecting newly planted and established trees and shrubs from wildlife such as rabbits, hares, roe deer, and other large livestock. Ideal for forestry projects, estate management, agricultural planting, and commercial landscaping, this guard helps trees thrive while remaining safe from animal damage.
Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the guard is UV-stabilised, rot-resistant, and chemical-proof, ensuring long-term protection. Its open mesh design allows air, light, and wind to pass through, strengthening the trunk and encouraging natural growth without restricting the tree.
Perfect for woodland creation, hedgerow establishment, rewilding projects, and large-scale planting schemes, the 1.2m Open Mesh Tree Guard is lightweight, easy to install, and reusable, making it a practical choice for both commercial and one-off planting projects.
