Motala

Tree Guard

Design Olle Anderson

Motala is a classic tree guard that encases the tree in a protective metal cage. Taller than many other tree guards, Motala offers excellent protection for bigger trees too. The tree guard is widest at the bottom, where it is reinforced with more steel ribs. The design provides an attractive complement to historic centres and too contemporary streetscapes too.

Materials and surface treatments

TecTalis® corrosion protection and polyester powder coating in black RAL 9005 stainless steel galvanized or hot galvanized and polyester powder in black RAL 9005.

Steel

Nola uses high-quality steel with good strength in our products. Steel rusts if left untreated and must therefore be surface treated. 

Hot-dip galvanized

Hot-dip galvanizing provides very strong protection against corrosion. The steel is dipped into a bath of hot liquid zinc. The zinc attaches and creates a surface coating on the steel part, which is then taken out of the bath and drained of excess zinc.

Powder coating

Powder coating is a coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint, powder coating is usually applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. The result is an even, hard-wearing coloured surface with the desired gloss level.

Assembly and placement

Some assembly required.

The guard may be attached to a tree grille at the base or ground-mounted using the fixtures supplied.

Maintenance

The version made with the lacquered finish should be handled with care.
Scratches to the powder-coated steel finish can be repainted with alkyd oil enamel as needed. The hot-dip galvanised steel version can be repainted with cold galvanise solution if required.

Powdercoated steel

Products that are powder-coated can be touch-up painted with alkyd paint.

Hor dip galvanized steel

Hot-dip galvanized can be touch-up painted with so-called "cold galvanizing".
