Frequently asked questions

We do not sell posts (due to the cost of freighting them) however we recommend using standard 12mm rebar cut into 1500mm lengths as posts. Rebar comes in 6m lengths so you can get 4 posts from a single length. You can cut this yourself or ask your metal supplier to do that for you.

An alternative to rebar is to use either new or second hand star pickets.

What ever posts you use we recommend use of three posts per guard although some customers have successfully only used two star pickets. It really depends on the type, size and behavior of animals you are protecting your trees from.

The longevity of the welded mesh will differ based on local climatic conditions. While our Australian wire supplier can not give us a specific year guarantee on the mesh, we see no reason why it would not last a minimum of 10 years and in many places a lot longer.

Yes, you can pick up guards from one of our suppliers (please see the map on ‘How to buy’) or from our manufacturing partner at Hallam, Victoria.

Payment options are provided on the tax invoice we supply. Payment can be made via EFT or via credit card. No cash orders are available.
