Shelterguard™ Shrub Shelters - tubes

Shelterguard Plus for Shrubs tree shelters consist of four welded tubes nested inside of each other. The diameter ranges are 130-160mm, 150-180mm or 170-200mm. All shrub shelters are 60cm tall and come complete with two pre-fitted ties. Shelterguard shrub shelters protect newly planted shrubs from damage from browsing animals, particulary rabbits.

The plastic mesh Shelterguard material, unique to Acorn, is manufactured by coextruding a laminate of 12mm square plastic netting and a tinted polyethylene film lining. The film laminate gives the shrub guard added shelter, allows light to penetrate and acts like a greenhouse encouraging good strong early tree growth. The material has been specifically designed to photodegrade in a two stage process, with the polythene lining breaking up first (once the shrub is established enough to no longer require the shelter environment), leaving a free draining netting shelter to continue to provide support and browsing protection.

Acorn's shrub shelters have a smooth top edge (selve edge) to prevent stem abrasion and strengthen the tube and have a staggered weld line to improve drainage and prevent the tubes from filling up with water.

Coloured olive green as standard (black and brown can be manufactured to order), Shelterguard shrub shelters blend in discreetly with the natural environment, unlike competitive solid wall tree shelters that are light green and very unsightly.

  • The mesh structure protects the shrub from browsing animals 
  • The polyethylene film provides a sheltered environment for the young tree (Micro-climatic conditions) 
  • The film lining will photodegrade within 3-5 years to leave a plastic mesh shrub guard
  • Shelterguard for shrubs is available in three nested sizes 
  • Between 5-7 years, the plastic netting will begin to photodegrade and split as the stem of the growing shrub expands to fill the tube
