The Tree Sentry represents a significant advancement in shelter design. As such, it is a unique (and patented) approach with a distinctive shape, material, staking design and entire manufacturing process not employed by other shelters. With a heavier investment in design, tooling and processing machinery, the result is a level of protection and ease of use not attainable with other products.

If you look, you'll find a number of seedling shelters which can improve seedling growth rates and elevate survival rates with your planting project.   Many of these other shelters are very similar in appearance employing approaches to seedling protection which have been in practice since the late 1970's, when seedling shelters were invented in the UK. Nearly all of these products employ a long slender tube, extruded or assembled (by you, the planter) from sheets and attached to an external stake with wires, staples or pull ties.    To install them, some require assembly in the field, rolling and stapling sheet goods, or driving stakes and routing zip ties through the shelter and around the stake, and even burying the base of the shelter so it doesn't shift around or want to "clock" or weathervane around the stake it's tied to.  a few labor saving and convenience measures have been taken over the years, pre-installing ties, or nesting the pre-made tubes in progressively smaller diameters so they are less cumbersome to ship, or tote in the field, but you are still left to tote the stakes in the field and drive them into the soil and bury the base to stablilize it. 

The Tree Sentry is not a copy of another idea with some small modification. It instead reflects intense study of those aspects of plant shelters that work well - and those that don't - and then takes a unique approach to its shape, stability system, materials, installation method and manufacturing process.  And quite simply, these changes work.

Tree shelters were invented in the United Kingdom in the late 1970's. The original design concept - essentially a cylindrical tube secured to a stake - continues to be the foundation for a range of products used to aid in the early survival and growth of tree seedlings, shrubs, garden plants, grape vines and most any small planting.   The benefits of using shelters are well known, but there is much to understand before selecting from the range of products available.  The wrong decisions can have unpleasant results, with the loss of seedlings, shelters that will continue to stand over withered stock until removed,  and the labor expended to plant the seedlings and install the shelters.    It pays to do your research.   No single shelter system is ideal for all species of seedling and the sites on which they are planted.  The Tree Sentry is a unique self-staking conical shelter is the result of intensive study and testing of existing plant sheltering methods and devices.   When you do your research, you'll find the Tree Sentry to present the broadest range of benefits at a more economical cost when considering the performance of alternative shelters and the higher cost to install them.

While most tree sheltering (or plant sheltering) devices reflect an incremental evolution of the original concept or product, the Tree Sentry is more revolutionary in its approach to promoting seedling health with more carefully tested levels of incubation and protection.  The Tree Sentry brings an entirely new and vastly improved approach to shelter design, shape, materials, manufacturing methods and installation technique.  It's not surprising that the Tree Sentry is rapidly gaining favor over old standards for plant protection.
