Description
|
|
The Ø450 mm Tree Guard from Branson Leisure provides essential protection for young and established street trees in urban environments. Designed to shield vulnerable trunks from mechanical damage, vandalism, and pedestrian impact, this robust steel guard combines practical functionality with the refined aesthetic standards of our premium urban furniture range.
Constructed from 2 mm thick galvanised steel sheet, the Tree Guard offers exceptional durability and weather resistance. The galvanised and painted finish provides superior protection against corrosion while allowing seamless integration with existing streetscape colour schemes.

Design and Tree Care
|
|
The Ø450 mm internal diameter provides ample clearance for trunk growth while maintaining effective protection against vehicle impact, maintenance equipment, and accidental damage. Smooth, rolled edges around all openings prevent abrasion to tree bark, supporting healthy development.
Available in perforated or solid panel configurations, the Tree Guard can be specified to suit different environmental requirements. The perforated option promotes air circulation and light penetration around the trunk, while the solid panel offers maximum protection in high-risk locations.

Installation and Maintenance
|
|
The Tree Guard is supplied in two semi-circular halves with concealed fixing brackets for straightforward assembly around existing 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. For installations in coastal or high-salinity environments, we recommend specifying additional galvanising treatment to maximise longevity—please contact our technical team for guidance.
