Our Shelterguard™ for trees range consists of four welded tubes nested inside of each other. The diameter range is from 80-110mm and all shelters have ties pre-fitted as standard. We nest our products so that four guards can be shipped together saving delivery and ultimately product costs.
Each shelter is fitted with a moulded top edge lipping to prevent stem abrasion and strengthen the tube. A staggered weld line improves drainage, preventing the tube from filling up with water in heavy rainfalls.
The film, netting and top lipping will photo-degrade and split as the stem of the growing tree expands to fill the tube ensuring that there is no restriction to the trees growth.

Biodegradable Shelterguard
Our biodegradable version of Shelterguard™ has been developed following a number of years work including both advanced weathering and field trials (Trials carried out based on UK Climates). This new Bio-shelter, a biodegradable version of our popular Shelterguard™ range has been designed in collaboration with a specialist plastics firm and will function in exactly the same way as our current shelters, ensuring that browsing protection is not compromised, but will begin to biodegrade after about 7 years. Once the guard has split and fallen off the tree, contact with the soil will enable microbes to accelerate their work, gradually breaking down the plastic harmlessly into water, carbon dioxide and biomass.
Please note that information on the testing for the Biodegradeable tree guards has been carried out based on Northern European Climates (UK) and therefore may differ in Australia. Please contact us for further information.
