1.5m Tubex Standard Plus Tree Shelter Guard

The 1.5m Tubex Standard Plus Tree Shelter Guard provides robust and reliable protection for young trees in farmland, forestry, and environmental planting projects. Designed for farmers, landowners, forestry contractors, and conservation professionals, this taller guard protects against rabbits, hares, deer, sheep, and livestock, ensuring trees establish safely in grazed or open landscapes.

Manufactured from UV-stabilised twin-wall polypropylene, the Tubex Standard Plus creates a favourable microclimate that improves root development, stem strength, and moisture retention — ideal for sites prone to wind exposure or dry conditions. The guard’s flared rim design prevents stem chafing, allowing healthy tree growth while maintaining protection from wildlife.

These shelters are biodegradable over approximately 5 years, giving trees the freedom to grow naturally once fully established and reducing maintenance requirements. Additionally, the Tubex Standard Plus allows for safe weed control, enabling herbicide application around the base without harming young stems.

Suitable for forestry creation schemes, farmland boundary planting, rewilding projects, and grant-aided woodland planting, the Tubex Standard Plus Tree Shelter Guard combines durability, performance, and sustainability to ensure every tree thrives.
