They are manufactured from chemical resistant polyethylene which makes them light, easy to carry and resilient. In areas of very high rabbit population we would not recommend using Mesh Guards. Two 3ft canes would make good supports for these guards. It will protect crops from insects, birds and extremes of weather and produces a micro-climate for early cropping and prolonging the growing period in autumn. It allows an optimum passage of air and water but as it protects crops from insects it will need removing if insect pollination is necessary.
Tree Shelters are ideal for helping to establish young trees.
They are used extensively, especially on difficult sites, to protect trees from cold winds and browsing animals. Because of their insulating properties they also promote faster growth. For example you can expect up to six times more growth on an Oak sapling in the first two years. They encourage good strong stems with fewer side branches and make weed control much easier if you are spraying weedkiller or are inaccurate with a scythe. A round shelter offers less resistance to wind than a square shelter.
