This is the galvanised steel guard we stock as standard. It can be used to create a guard of 1.6m to 2m high (two sheets is best for achieving 2m) by raising the guard off the ground from the start or as the leader grows out of the top. For this reason we recommend fitting a vole guard, tree spiral or a plastic tree tube minimum 0.6m on the tree to prevent damage from rabbits, hares and to prevent cattle from reaching the tree with their tongues and pulling it out. We think that there is an advantage in fitting a 1.2m tree tube as it will help the leader grow out straight without putting out lateral shoots but be warned that voles love to nest in these tubes and now we recommend fitting a vole or spiral/Easywrap guard and lifting the tube up to prevent it being a nice dry home for voles. Alternatively don't use tubes and keep the CACTUS guard close to the ground until the tree is well rooted. Please see our Guidance note

Steel Rebars (non-galvanised) 1500 mm x 10 mm diameter
Per 1500 mm length: £1.45* + VAT
* Prices subject to change depending on exchange rates, EU export/UK import charges
Wire ties
* Prices subject to change depending on exchange rates, EU export/UK import charges
We consider these to be essential if you are using re-bars. Making your own will not be cost/time effective. We only offer two sizes:
- 6mm ties for tying the guard to itself: 2.8p* + VAT
- 10mm ties for fixing guard to rebars: 3p* + VAT
This is the distance between the two parallel wires. 6mm ties are used to tie the guards to themselves when formed in the cactus bender and the 10mm ties are used to tie the guards to the re-bars.
EasyTied tool

* Prices subject to change depending on exchange rates, EU export/UK import charges
This is an essential tool if you are using the wire ties with rebars. It is a drill bit tool designed to tie the wire ties. We supply only the drill bit - you will need a drill in order to use it.
Drive rod
£25.00* + VAT
* Prices subject to change depending on exchange rates, EU export/UK import charges
An essential tool if you are using rebars. This tool is designed to make inserting the rebars easy using a lump hammer. You can hammer from the side which is essential when trying to insert 2m rebars, perhaps not so when using 1.5m rebars depending on how tall you are.
CACTUS tree guard former
£75.00* + VAT
* Prices subject to change depending on exchange rates, EU export/UK import charges
This tool makes forming the guards from the flat-packed guards simple. It can be done without the tool by bending the guard between 2 parallel bars 3” apart or on the ground if you can crouch down. See the guidance note for more info.
