Shelterguard tree shelters protect trees from browsing animals (rabbits, moles, voles, deer) while providing a sheltered environment to encourage strong early growth.
The tree shelters are manufactured from a recycled plastic mesh with a 12 mm aperture and a clear polyethylene film lining. The film laminate gives the tree guard added shelter from wind and herbicide spray, allows light to penetrate and encourages strong early tree growth.
Shelterguard has a five-to-seven year lifespan once installed. It has been designed to photo-degrade in a two-stage process, with the polyethylene film lining breaking up after approximately three growing seasons. The top of the tree shelter becomes brittle after four-to-five years to prevent constriction.
The Shelterguard comes in three sizes, 24”, 48”, and 60”and is available from EcoDepot, LLC, www.EcoDepotSales.com. See it in person at MANTS booth 849.
