Product Information
Full details
The True Products UV-stabilised mesh tree guard is an essential tool for arborists, gardeners, and landscapers looking to protect young saplings and shrubs from wildlife damage and mechanical hazards. Designed to provide a durable, rot-proof barrier against rabbits, hares, and deer, this guard promotes healthy development by ensuring proper ventilation for the plant. While it offers excellent versatility for evergreens and various shrub types, users must ensure they have external stakes or canes on hand, as these are not included with the mesh roll.

How do I secure the mesh?
You can use standard cable ties or garden staples to attach the mesh to your external support stake.
Can I use this on evergreen trees?
Yes, the breathable mesh design makes it ideal for evergreens as it prevents the buildup of moisture and heat.
Troubleshooting
Mesh is cutting into the tree bark
Loosen the cable ties immediately and ensure the mesh is not wrapped too tightly around the trunk.
Guard is leaning or falling over
Ensure the external stake is driven deep enough into the ground and the mesh is secured at both the top and bottom.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, measure the height of your sapling or shrub and cut the required length from the 5m roll using heavy-duty shears. Wrap the mesh loosely around the plant, ensuring there is enough room for natural trunk growth. Secure the mesh firmly to an external wooden stake or bamboo cane using UV-resistant cable ties or garden staples. For long-term care, perform a biannual check to ensure the mesh has not become embedded in the bark as the tree expands. If the tree grows significantly, adjust the ties to prevent constriction.
