Tree guard mesh

Conmaicne Mara

Where could I find something like this in Ireland (for sensible money!)

Going to plant some individual trees and they'll need protection.

Thanks.

Just curious why ya don't want to use ordinary treated posts and some of that green garden mesh/fence? Would work out alot cheaper than those things ya posted mate.

Trees will form a shelterbelt on my sheep farm. I'll be planting them individually so as not to waste any ground. The net, stapled onto a stake, and cable tied shut to form an O around a 3-4 foot tree should, I hope, keep it safe from sheep, lambs, and hares. To form the O the mesh would have to be rigid but flexible.

What type of mesh do you mean, windbreak stuff or the cordon off type, don't think either of those would do me.

Horned sheep, chicken wire won't last pissing time, it'll deform and stay deformed and they'll get caught up in it grazing or attempting to browse.
