The 1.8m x 600mm Weld Mesh Tree Guard provides robust, long-term protection for newly planted trees exposed to deer, livestock and other large animals. Manufactured from durable galvanised steel wire, this strong cylindrical guard is designed to protect individual trees in woodlands, grazing fields, rural estates, parkland and other areas where young trees are vulnerable to browsing, rubbing and physical damage.
The open weld mesh design allows air and natural light to pass freely through the guard while creating a strong physical barrier around the tree. With a 1.8m height and 600mm diameter, it provides generous protection and clearance for larger standard trees and is particularly suitable for areas experiencing significant deer or livestock pressure.
Ideal for forestry, woodland creation, conservation, rewilding and estate planting projects, this galvanised weld mesh guard is a durable, low-maintenance solution for individual tree protection. It is also well suited to trees planted through Environmental Land Management Schemes (ELMS), woodland creation grants, biodiversity projects and landscape restoration schemes.

Installation Guidance
The Weld Mesh Guard should be positioned centrally around the newly planted tree and securely supported using suitable timber or metal stakes. Ensure the guard is firmly secured and stable, particularly in exposed locations or areas subject to high deer or livestock pressure.
Why Choose a 1.8m x 600mm Weld Mesh Guard?
For larger individual trees planted in areas with substantial animal pressure, the 1.8m x 600mm Weld Mesh Guard provides a strong and durable protection solution. The generous diameter gives the tree room to establish while the 1.8m height helps protect against browsing and rubbing from larger animals.
Its galvanised steel construction makes it suitable for demanding rural, forestry, agricultural and conservation environments where long-lasting tree protection is required.
