CLOCAL 18-Piece Plant Protectors — 13.5" x 14.3" Vinyl-Coated Mesh Cages with Stakes & Ties for Rabbit and Squirrel Protection

CLOCAL 18-piece metal plant protectors are individual vinyl-coated wire cages that form durable barriers around seedlings, shrubs, and young trees to keep rabbits, squirrels, chickens and other small animals away.

These plant protectors arrive as 18 circular mesh panels with stakes, cable ties and a glove included so you can quickly build cages of many sizes without tools. Each panel is roughly 13.5 inches in diameter and 14.3 inches tall; panels snap together to create round, square or rectangular enclosures. The vinyl-coated steel resists weathering, and the fine mesh keeps out small nibblers while still allowing sunlight, air and water to reach plants.

How do these protectors stop animals without harming plants?

The CLOCAL cages use a tight metal grid that prevents animals from accessing stems and leaves while preserving normal plant growth. The vinyl coating protects both the metal and plant contact points, and the open mesh design ensures light and moisture pass through freely.

• Tight 14.3" high mesh keeps rabbits and ground animals from reaching foliage.
• Fine grid spacing blocks small animals like chipmunks and mice.
• Open design allows rain, sun and airflow for healthy growth.
• Vinyl coating reduces rust and protects stems from abrasion.

How simple is assembly and customization for different plants?

Assembly requires no tools: interlock mesh panels, secure with included cable ties and anchor with ground stakes supplied. For taller or wider plants combine three or more panels to build taller cylinders, or flatten and tie into rectangular shapes when protecting multiple seedlings at once.

• Use 3+ panels for larger single-plant cages; stack panels side-by-side for height.
• Zip ties and stakes are provided to secure shapes quickly.
• Panels can be cut or bent slightly for custom fits around trunks or irregular beds.
• Included glove protects hands during setup and repositioning.

What materials and durability features should I expect outdoors?

CLOCAL plant cages are made from sturdy steel wire with a weather-resistant vinyl coating to extend outdoor life. The construction resists deformation from small impacts, and the coated finish slows corrosion in rain and irrigation zones.

• Thick steel wire frame for structural strength.
• Vinyl coating helps prevent rust and protects plant contact points.
• Fine mesh maintains shape and prevents animal intrusion.
• Components designed to be reused season after season with basic care.

Who is this for? Home gardeners, community garden stewards and small-scale growers who need an affordable, reusable way to protect young plants from common garden pests will find this kit useful. It’s ideal for protecting vegetable seedlings, young trees, ornamental shrubs, roses and flowers, and it makes a practical gift for anyone who wants to minimize animal damage without chemical repellents.
