Rainbow the brand is synonymous with professional tree care products and has been
so for over 40 years. The Rainbow Spiral Tree Guard is the industry standard from which others follow, in the economical
protection of young trees against adverse weather conditions and browsing wildlife. Tree Shelters are another means of protecting
the vulnerable young tree from both of these potentially damaging problems.
Manufactured from 100% recyclable,
twin walled polypropylene, Defender Pro Tree Shelters, offer maximum effective protection of the aboricutural investment.
The format of the product as against traditional tube shelters, actually reduces the environmental impact associated with
using tree shelters. Defender Pro Shelters are flat packed and bundled in multiples of 50, which means more shelters can be
transported per consignment. Rainbow Professional can actually recycle polypropylene for use in the manufacture of our other
products too which actually benefits the environment.
The benefit doesn't stop their either, this
flat pack format is also beneficial to the tree planting contractor. 50 units are easily carried to site at a time, whereas
with tubes far less can be handled at once. Also being of a square section when formed, each shelter is the same size and
dimension as the previous and the next, with the same volumetric growing space within.
Another benefit is also
the non presence of ratchet ties traditionally used to secure the shelter to the stake. With the Defender Pro Shelter, one
corner of the square section inverts on itself when formed which is specifically designed to accept a snug fitting 32mm x
32mm square wooden stake. Defender Pro Shelters also increase routine tree maintenance efficiencies due to not needing to
undo ratchet ties to lift the shelter. Instead the shelter simply slides up the stake single handedly, the maintenance
work can be efficiently carried out, and then the shelter is then slid down the stake again, enabling the contractor
to move on to the next tree with speed and efficiency.
Defender Tree Shelters have an inherrent break point
incorporated in their design. Being of a square sectional design, when formed the corner which is most exposed to UV light
will become weak over time. As the tree matures the Defender Pro naturally splits along these corners, thus preventing tree
strangulation. Pictures of this having taken place can be clearly seen in the gallery images elsewhere on this site.
The video below shows how this system works, and in practice the labour saving
benefits are unparallelled. So for maximimum tree defense, make sure your aboricutural stock is protected using Defender Pro
available via selected exclusive stockists and distributors around the world.
Defender Pro Tree Shelters are available

Exert Below taken fromk the UK Forestry Journal:
"Used within
the UK forestry and landscaping sectors for 20 years, Defender Tree Shelters are made from 100% recyclable twin-walled polypropylene, and offer a perfect microclimate for
saplings, whilst protecting against herbicide and small animal damage. Shelters are delivered flat-packed, in bundles of 50 (1500 x 1.2 metreson a single
pallet) and spring back into shape when unpacked. Available in green, they are quick to install (no plastic ties) and simple
to
maintain, slipping on and off the stake with ease. The robust contact between stake and shelter gives maximum stability
with no risk of the shelter breaking away from the stake. Eventually the Defender splits naturally along the corners to avoid
tree
strangulation. Low in price, the Defender has a cross-section of 80mm by 80mm and is available in 5 lengths, 60cm,
75cm,
90cm, 120cm, 150cm."
