‘Optimal Shelterbelts’ (OSB)^®

• 5 metres wide with 4 rows of trees
• Maximum potential microclimate in the lee of the prevailing wind
• Increasing ambient humidity, soil temperature and ‘crop degree days’
• Reducing wind abrasion on crops and improves thermal comfort zone (livestock)
• Shelter extends to 20 x the height of the tallest trees – i.e. 10m high trees give 200m warm microclimate and humid bubble

‘Supahedge’^®

• 2 rows of trees 2 metre wide - uses less land
• Complies with SFI/CSS specification of Creating New Hedgerows (BN11)

Buying Options OSBs and Supahedge^® are sold ‘per metre’ run and comprise all the items required in either a 5m width of OSB, or 2m width of Supahedge per metre run of length – i.e. all the different tree species, their guards, stakes, biodegradable matting and securing pins. You will need to measure the length of your proposed hedge and multiply the cost by the number of metres and we will do the rest. For best effect please remember that eddying and turbulence is possible in lengths of less than 100 metres.
