Cat Anti-Climb Tree Guard Baffle Kit

Prevent your cat from using a tree near the fence as an escape route out of the yard! The Anti-Climb Tree Guard allows you to wrap the trunk of a tree in a material that cats cannot climb, which prevents them from climbing up past the guard, keeping them safe inside your yard.
+ Expand Product Description
SKU:

Keep your pet safe and grounded with our Purrfect Fence Tree Guard! Our innovative anti tree-climbing kit uses durable brown-coated metal flashing to wrap the trunk of a tree with a smooth metal surface that cats, pets, and other critters cannot dig their claws into, keeping them safely on the ground. Our solution is meant to protect from:

  • Cats/pets climbing too high and getting stuck in trees where they cannot safely descend.
  • Your pet climbing a tree near a fence line and being able to escape the safety of your yard.
  • Keep other critters and/or some predators (squirrels, rats, opossums, etc.) from easily climbing trees in your yard.

Medium Tree (28-60" Circumference) spindles
Large Tree (61-88" Circumference) spindles

The wood spindle is attached to the tree with 3 screws and then the metal flashing is wrapped around the trunk and fastened to the spindle.

      My Problem was Minimized

      My purpose for purchasing this item was actually to prevent iguanas from having the leverage on the tree, to climb high enough to eat the flowers of my plant beneath the tree. It has actually worked quite well for the larger iguanas, because they cannot get a grip on the trunk, causing a great deal of difficulty for them when climbing down from the tree. This makes them not as interested as they used to be in sitting in the tree. I would say that this item worked better than any other option that I have, so I would recommend it. If it can deter iguanas from climbing, it should surely deter cats.

      I love the tree baffles!

      I love the idea, and I have only put up one and then it got colder than I can deal with, so waiting for a sunny day to complete my project…

      This works very well!

      It was easy to install, and has prevented our crafty cat from escaping via the trees. Definitely would purchase again.

      Love the color and design

      I followed the instructions and it worked purr...fectly. I already had the purr...fect fence setup along my wall, but I also have many trees along my wall. The tree I used this one on grew at an angle, making it easy for the cats to climb. Once I put the tree guard up, it stopped them from getting over using that tree.

      Bye bye Squirrels!

      Prior to installing the tree guard system, wr had a serious issue with squirrels invading our deck, digging holes in our yard and chewing on tree limbs. Post installation we have not had any problems with squirrels 🐿️!!
