Plantra 12-inch Diameter Rigid Mesh Tube Protector - 25 ft Roll (Cut to Desired Height)
Keeping seedlings, shrubs and garden plants safe from animals with a mesh protector just got better! Plantra's 12-inch diameter rigid mesh tube protectors screen out browsing animals that can kill your seedlings and garden plants. Engineered from rugged, UV resistant polymers, Plantra's rigid mesh gets the job done in the field, in the yard and in the garden. Say good-bye to chicken-wire and other metal cages that are both expensive to make and even more expensive to buy. Say hello to fast, safe, seedling and plant protection that goes on easy and lasts until your plants are well on their way. Larger mesh design allows branching through sides but keeps terminal leader safe and growing fast.
Important Note on Sizing: This product is a pre-formed tube (fixed 12-inch diameter) that is flattened and rolled up for shipping. You do not form the diameter yourself. How to use: Simply unroll and cut the mesh to the height of protection you need. (Example: Cut 4 feet off the roll to create a single 4-foot tall tube).
12in Open Diameter
Confirm that 12-inch diameter is the best fit for your specific plant.
This roll allows you to customize the height. Cut the mesh based on the animal you are trying to stop.

Plantra Rigid Mesh Tubes can be used with either evergreen or deciduous tree and shrub seedlings. Choose a location that will receive 6-8 hours of full sun, remove weeds from the planting spot and as the old adage goes... if you have a 5-dollar tree, dig a 10-dollar hole!
Sturdy scissors and tape measure required.
NOTE: 12in diameter Rigid mesh requires two support stakes.
For Wild Land Plantings: (4-5+ years) We strongly recommend Trunk Builder® Stakes. For Garden Plantings: Trunk Builder® Stakes are preferred, though other materials may be used.
HINT: When using Plantra Twist-Lock® Ties, bend 3-4 inches of one end into a hook (See figure 7). Hook the looped end through the mesh, around the stake, and back out. Twist 3 times to secure.
