Nice product

These were good for what I needed but not exactly what I thought they were going to be.

These are so easy to use my baby trees are protected however with this weird May wind I have to modify with items to keep them from flying.

These tree guards are made of stiff sheets of plastic that are attached together with one-way fasteners. There are four holes for fasteners on the long sides of the plastic sheets. It is easy to insert the top and bottom fasteners, because you can hold the front and back sides with your fingers. However, it is almost impossible to apply pressure on the middle two fasteners in order to close them, even if you close the fasteners in order (from the top to the bottom or the reverse). This is not the worst problem with this product.After 3 months, the bottom sheet broke, as I show in the attached photos. Since only the bottom sheet broke, I assume that it is the result of animal activity. It is not the result of cutting the grass, because the grass around this tree is intact. I have two other kinds of trunk protectors installed around thinner tree trunks in my yard. All other trunk protectors show no damage. I assume that thinner tree trunks are more desirable for animals, so the failure I experienced indicate that this product is inferior compared to the other tree trunk protectors. This failure is not acceptable, because the whole purpose of this trunk protector is to protect the tree.

They worked ok for a starter tree. I had a hard time getting the clips in and staying in but with a little improvising I was able to get them to work. Putting one on top of another for tree supports without gouging didn't look the best the way they went together but did protect the tree through it's first winter.

Very handy.

Some critters like to chew on tree trunks especially in the winter when food is scarce. We have snowshoe hares that will kill a tree known as girdle. This product put a stop to that. Considering an ornamental or fruit tree could be $100, this guard is a good investment.

Good product so far. Thinner than I expected. I am not sure if the rivots will hold (there are strong winds where I live). So I added duct tape. Has been working well so far
