Features and benefits
- Colour: Muted brown colour.
- Lifespan: Non-toxic UV stabilisation ensures that Vigilis-Bio Tree Shelters maintain mechanical strength for at least 6 years. After this initial 6 year period, the structural integrity of the tube starts to fail. The material will then begin to fracture and fall on to the forest floor over an additional period of 2-3 years. It will start to biodegrade as soon as it is in contact with the leaf litter, soil and/or microbes. It has been designed to compost in soil conditions at 20 degrees Celsius. After biodegradation, all that remains is water, biomass and minerals. No micro-plastics or toxic residues.
- Materials: Made from derivatives of bio-based materials (potatoes, wood & corn). The cellulose structure of these materials is used to create a bio-based polymer.
- Construction: Twin walled design with a laser line to prevent strangulation. Strong yet lightweight construction with optimal strength to weight ratio.
- Browsing Protection: 0.60m = Rabbits | 0.75m = Hares I 1.2m = Muntjac Deer I 1.5m = Fallow Deer I 1.8m = Red Deer
