Bark Guards & Winter Mats
Natural Protection for Trees in Demanding Outdoor Conditions
Nordic Coir Bark Guards & Winter Mats are made from durable natural coconut coir fibre to help protect young trees, shrubs and exposed root zones from frost, wind, abrasion and other outdoor stresses.
The dense coir structure provides a breathable protective layer around trunks and planting areas while maintaining a natural appearance that blends well into nurseries, parks and landscaped environments.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Natural Protection Through the Seasons
Young trees can be particularly vulnerable to winter temperatures, drying winds and mechanical damage.
Nordic Coir Bark Guards & Winter Mats create an additional natural protective layer around trunks and root zones, helping plants establish more securely in exposed environments.
The natural coir structure allows the product to remain breathable while creating a physical barrier around vulnerable plant areas.
Key Benefits

For Nurseries, Landscapes & Cold-Climate Planting
Bark Guards & Winter Mats can be used in a range of professional plant-establishment and seasonal-protection applications.
