For best results we recommend adhering to the installation instructions and planting poles in accordance with best practice. This includes ensuring you have the right pole, for the right place and using either an A or B grade pole. Correct stock management is also essential, cattle should be excluded from pole plantings for at least the first 18months.
WPP (and plastic alternatives) are not cattle proof and should not be treated as such.

Please ensure you read instructions carefully and follow them correctly.
We recommend the use of an applicator to avoid any chance of snagging during initial application however it is not necessary.
WPP do need to be stapled in place as they will sag/ slide down the pole if it is not done.

Please note: Our Wool Pole Protectors are now thicker than what was originally trialed, extending the longevity .
Our initial trial demonstrated that around the 18-24month mark degradation started to occur along sections of the Wool Pole Protector. Degradation will occur faster along the bottom with any part that has direct contact with the soil.
It is important to note that how long your Wool Pole Protector lasts comes down to your stock management & climatic conditions. For example: Degradation rates occur faster in hotter and wetter climates compared to dry and cold.
