Tree Guard: questions buyers ask
What is the standard size of a tree guard?
Nitin metal tree guards are 6 ft high including legs and polymer tree guards are 5 ft high, both 1.5 ft in diameter. Custom sizes are made for larger orders.
Which is better, a metal or plastic tree guard?
Metal tree guards are stronger against cattle and vandalism and last longer. Plastic (polymer) tree guards are lighter, cheaper to transport and do not rust. Nitin supplies both, in green.
How do you install a tree guard?
As general practice, plant the sapling, place the guard centred around it and push or bury the legs about a foot into the ground, then firm the soil. Nitin tree guards are designed for DIY installation.
Can we print our company name on tree guards for a CSR drive?
Yes. Nitin Wire Group offers free name board printing on its tree guards, which suits CSR, NGO, school and municipal plantation drives. Guards come in metal or polymer, painted green.
How long should a tree guard stay around a sapling?
As general practice, a tree guard stays in place until the tree is tall and woody enough that animals cannot browse or break it, usually two to three years, after which it can be reused.
