Tubex Shrub Shelter 60cm

Tubex Shrubshelter 60cm high x 130-160mm.

Higher air moisture within the Tubex Shrubshelter reduces water stress and enables the plant to survive in dry or drought conditions. The Tubex Shrubshelter also provides complete protection against animals including rabbits, voles and hare and herbicides in a way that is flexible, efficient and cost effective.

Tubex Shrubshelters;
- provide a barrier against damage from animals
- protect against drift from pesticides during spraying
- create a microclimate around the young plant, sheltering it from extremes of weather and enhancing its growth
- are made from durable twin-wall construction
- have releasable ratchet ties
- are designed with a flared rim to reduce rubbing on the plant’s stem

Choice of shelter height depends on the wildlife present on site:

Rabbits  60cm
Hares  75cm
Muntjac Deer  1.2m
Fallow Deer  1.5m
Red Deer  1.8m

A square stake is needed to support each Tubex Shrub Shelter, inserted into the ground to 1/3 of the stake height, ensuring the stake is below the flared rim at the top of the shelter. See Square Stakes for recommended sizes. 

Please note, these shrub shelters come in nests of 5 tubes with a slight variation in diameter ranging from 130-160mm. Tubes to be separated before use. 

Also available:
- Tubex Standard Treeshelter - providing a slightly narrower diameter than the Tubex Standard Plus
- Tubex Standard Plus Treeshelter - for slightly larger plants or requiring additional height protection.
