Tree Guards

Commonly, we differentiate between tree trunk guards and tree root protectors or grates. Quite often they are installed jointly.

Tree root protectors are widely used to maintain the health and longevity of urban trees. These durable grates provide essential protection for tree roots in paved areas, preventing from soil compaction and damage from pedestrian and vehicle traffic. By allowing proper air and water circulation, these metal tree grilles promote healthy tree growth while seamlessly integrating into the cityscape due to their variety of sizes and designs.

Features

  • Anti-corrosion treatment suited for harsh city environments – C4 corrosion category,
  • Intended for pedestrian traffic (incl. bikes, scooters) in the standard version; an optional load-bearing frame for delivery transport or street maintenance transport on demand,
  • Can be used together with Bike Rack/Trunk Guard 18101 in ⌀ 50, 60 and 70 cm,
  • Concealed fastening screws.

 

Tree trunk guards are essential for protecting urban trees from physical damage caused by pedestrian traffic, bicycles, and maintenance equipment. These durable metal guards create a protective barrier around tree trunks, preventing injuries that could compromise tree health and growth. Designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, tree trunk protectors do not require much maintenance.

 

For multifunctional urban solutions, we offer a dual-purpose product Bike Rack Trunk Guard 18101, which combines the protective features of a tree trunk guard with the practicality of a bike stand. The trunk protector is adapted for mounting onto the root protector.

 

Below is a selection of materials that are used for the most tree protectors:

  • Carbon steel with anti-rust and painted coating – a solid and robust material for extensive usage. Color variations for the steel frame include 22 RAL tones, choosing from Contemporary, Nature, and Accents palettes.
  • Stainless steel with a semi-matte finish – provides a contemporary look and zero maintenance.
