Tabbed Fluted Plastic Tree Guards - 450mm High (140mm Triangular Profile, Tabbed Closure) - Reusable, Open/close Protection for Quick Maintenance & Access

Tabbed Fluted Plastic Tree Guards - 450mm High x 140mm Triangular - Reusable, Open/Close Tree Protection

In modern orchard management, you need a guard that not only protects young stock but also allows quick access for maintenance, pruning, or spraying without requiring removal. These Tabbed Fluted Plastic Tree Guards solve this critical operational need. The unique tab-and-slot closure allows the rigid, triangular guard to be easily opened, worked around the plant, and securely closed again, maximizing efficiency while providing durable, structural protection with minimal staking requirements.

Best For The commercial nursery, orchard, or vineyard operator requiring a durable, rigid, and reusable tree guard solution that features a tabbed closure for quick, non-destructive access to the protected plant.

Key Features

• Reusable Tabbed Opening: The integrated tab-and-slot system allows the guard to be opened and closed rapidly without tools or staples, giving immediate access to the plant trunk for inspections, maintenance, or chemical application.

• Efficient Single/Double Stake Anchor: The self-supporting fluted plastic structure provides enough rigidity to be securely anchored with just one or two bamboo stakes, drastically reducing material costs and installation time across large plantings.

• Structural Triangular Profile: When installed, the 140mm triangular shape resists compression and wind load, offering a stronger, more rigid protective barrier than simple roll-formed sleeves.

• Fluted Material for Durability: Constructed from tough, fluted plastic that is inherently weather-resistant, providing long-term asset protection against animals, wind burn, and machinery drift, ensuring years of field use.

• Optimal 450mm Height: The standard height provides critical shielding for young trees and vines, protecting the vulnerable lower trunk from herbicide spray and browsing damage during the establishment phase.

• Shipping costs vary by location and method

• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions
