HERMEQ’s Tree Protection Fencing – Timber Posts system offers a sturdy, cost-effective method to safeguard vulnerable trees during construction and infrastructure projects. Designed to be installed directly into the ground, this fencing solution uses eco-conscious timber square posts and HERMEQ mesh fencing to form an exclusion zone that meets BS5837 requirements.
Ideal for construction environments where trees must be preserved, this system prevents accidental vehicle strikes, chemical runoff, root damage and other site-related threats. The fence is built using manual post installation and fixed panels, providing a long-lasting and secure perimeter with minimal materials.
- BS5837 tree safety standard - Ensures full local authority and planning compliance for tree protection zones.
- Mesh fence compatibility - 3.5m wide x 2.0m tall round-top HERMEQ panels for robust, anti-climb boundaries.
- Easy breakdown pricing - Use our calculator tool to estimate components based on post height and fencing length.
- Flexible sizing support - Scalable fencing for linear or corner-based layouts, with additional tube available for angles.
- Secure post fixing - Postcrete included to set posts without mixing, saving labour and install time on site.
Protecting trees on active sites is a legal, ethical, and ecological necessity. HERMEQ’s timber-based tree protection fencing system delivers both simplicity and compliance with the BS5837 standard. With robust timber square posts and our anti-climb mesh fencing panels, it establishes a clearly defined exclusion zone around vulnerable tree systems to prevent compaction, root trauma, or collision from vehicles and heavy equipment.
The included HERMEQ mesh panels measure 3.5 metres wide by 2 metres high and integrate easily with steel clips and postcrete. By digging the posts into the ground and securing each section with brackets, this solution is both durable and affordable. It ensures that protection is in place during demolition, site clearance, construction or regrading phases—before long-term landscaping measures can be implemented.
This system is especially effective on greenfield sites, conservation builds, residential developments and any project subject to tree preservation orders. It prevents impact on not just the tree trunk, but also the root spread and surrounding ground conditions. With its focus on environmental compliance, HERMEQ’s timber post tree protection fencing is an ideal solution for responsible contractors, designers and site managers who need an affordable, BS-aligned method of perimeter definition.

The Tree Protection Fencing with Timber Posts system is part of HERMEQ’s BS5837-compliant solutions for perimeter management on development sites. Its use of timber square posts provides a natural, low-carbon option for fencing support while maintaining high strength and resistance. The 100mm x 100mm posts are driven into the ground, creating a stable base for temporary mesh fencing attachment via fence clips and rapid-setting postcrete.
This fencing option is well suited for environments where preservation of existing vegetation is part of the planning agreement or environmental assessments. It creates a safe, visible boundary that prevents site vehicles and personnel from encroaching on root protection zones. This is especially important when working near tree trunks or within designated exclusion areas as part of a planning consent condition.
For layouts involving right-angled turns or complex geometry, an optional 10ft scaffold tube may be required. This is quoted separately following a confirmed site layout. Our calculator tool allows users to input site length and post height to generate accurate pricing and bill of materials, simplifying procurement for site managers and quantity surveyors.
Mesh fencing panels used in this system are HERMEQ’s 3.5m x 2.0m anti-climb variants, designed with rounded corners for improved safety. Lightweight yet sturdy, these mesh fencing panels are ideal for short-term projects that still demand regulatory compliance. When installed with couplers and timber support, they remain upright and firm, even in wind-exposed zones.
Buy back, installation and clearance services are also available through HERMEQ. Once the project phase concludes, our team can dismantle and reclaim components as needed, reducing material waste and handling for our clients. This solution supports safe working zones while helping developers maintain positive environmental credentials. Contractors seeking cost-effective, regulation-ready tree protection fencing will find this system highly dependable and straightforward to install.
