Further information
Vigilis ventilated tree shelters are rigid, twin-walled, cylindrical tree shelters with perforated holes. The vented design allows for optimal air flow and light transmission. They provide crucial protection to saplings and encourage healthy growth and establishment.
These shelters are designed for more exposed planting sites where there is a large contrast between external conditions and the conditions within the tree tube. The ventilated top half acclimatises the tree to potential harsh winds and the environment which aids trunk and root development. On the bottom third of the tube, the twin wall protects the tree from the use of herbicides being sprayed in the surrounding area.
These Vigilis shelters have a primary purpose of protecting the tree from damage from browsing animals including rabbits, hares, muntjac deer, roe deer, fallow deer, red deer and many more. Ventilated tree shelters can be used in forestry, landscaping, on road verges and for many other applications.
