The Cactus Tree Guard 160cm x 100cm is a heavy-duty mesh protection solution designed for young tree saplings in woodland, forestry, and large-scale habitat restoration schemes. Manufactured using UV-stabilised plastic mesh, the guard is engineered to offer robust, long-term protection against browsing animals such as deer and rabbits—two of the most common threats to early tree establishment.
At 160cm high and 100cm in circumference, this guard is ideal for more mature whips and larger planting stock, offering extended coverage beyond the standard 1.2m guard height. Its cactus-style construction provides rigidity and resilience, standing up well to wind, snow, and impact while maintaining shape. The cylindrical design allows trees to grow freely within a protected environment while enabling natural airflow and light penetration for healthy growth.
These guards are quick to install using stakes and Cactus Tree Wire Ties (6mm) or the EasyTied Tool, making them perfect for contractors, forestry workers, and rewilding projects seeking to cover large planting zones efficiently. The guard can be overlapped slightly if needed for tighter fitment or trimmed to accommodate specific planting schemes.
Compatible with long-term tree establishment programmes, Countryside Stewardship schemes, and estate-scale woodland creation plans, the Cactus Tree Guard 160cm x 100cm is a proven performer in protecting saplings from environmental and animal threats.
