Description
|
|
The Ø250 mm Painted Tree Guard from Branson Leisure provides essential, lightweight protection for young street trees during their critical establishment phase. Designed to shield vulnerable saplings from mechanical damage, vandalism, animal browsing, and pedestrian impact, this compact steel guard combines practical functionality with the refined aesthetic standards of our premium urban furniture range.
Constructed from 1.5 mm thick galvanised steel sheet, the Tree Guard offers excellent durability while maintaining a lightweight profile ideal for young tree applications. The galvanised and painted finish provides superior protection against corrosion while allowing seamless integration with existing streetscape colour schemes.

Design and Tree Care
|
|
The Ø250 mm internal diameter is specifically sized for young trees, providing adequate clearance for trunk growth while maintaining effective protection against strimmers, maintenance equipment, and accidental impact. Smooth, rolled edges around all openings prevent abrasion to delicate young bark, supporting healthy development.
The distinctive perforated ventilation pattern promotes air circulation and light penetration around the trunk, reducing the risk of fungal growth and moisture-related issues. This thoughtful design detail ensures that protection does not compromise tree health.
|
|
Installation and Maintenance
|
|
The Tree Guard is supplied in two semi-circular halves with concealed fixing brackets for straightforward assembly around newly planted trees. Installation options include surface mounting to surrounding paving or direct ground fixation using optional anchor kits. All fixings and assembly instructions are provided to ensure a secure, professional finish.
Maintenance is minimal: the galvanised and painted finish resists corrosion, fading, and graffiti. The smooth surface is easy to clean with standard methods. As the tree matures and outgrows the Ø250 mm guard, it can be easily removed and replaced with a larger model from our tree protection range.

|
Versatility and Applications
|
|
The Ø250 mm Painted Tree Guard is ideally suited for protecting young trees in a wide range of urban applications:
- New planting schemes: Essential protection during the critical first 3-5 years of tree establishment.
- Residential streets and estates: Safeguarding saplings in community landscaping projects.
- Parks and green infrastructure: Protecting young specimen trees in public recreation areas.
- Commercial developments: Enhancing new streetscapes while protecting landscaping investments.
Available in three heights (600 mm, 800 mm, 1000 mm), the guard can be specified to match the scale of different tree species and site-specific risk factors.
