Above-Ground Tree Stabilisation Kit

Above-Ground Tree Stabilisation Kit

The above-ground stabilisation kit is a ready-made solution for supporting newly planted trees up to 7.5 m tall. Instead of timber stakes, the tree is held by three tensioned ropes fixed to ground anchors — a system that does not interfere with the root ball and does not rot over time.

Three anchor points spread wind loads evenly, while the rubber protectors keep the bark from damage. The kit is quick to install with ordinary tools.

Installation step by step

1. Plant the tree and firm the soil around the root ball.
2. Drive the three ground anchors at equal intervals around the tree (about 120° apart), at a sufficient distance from the trunk.
3. Fit the rubber protectors on the trunk at the fixing height.
4. Run the rope from the protector to the anchor and lock it with the locking device.
5. Tension all three ropes evenly so that the tree stays upright.
6. Check the tension regularly and remove the system once the tree is established.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the system stay on?
Usually until the tree is well rooted — most often one to two growing seasons, depending on the species and conditions.

Does it damage the bark?
No. The rubber protectors spread the pressure and protect the trunk.

When should I choose underground anchoring?
When you want the system to be invisible — for example in squares, parks and in front of buildings.
