Before You Buy

• Select a stabilization system appropriate for the tree size and site conditions.
• Confirm whether your project requires staking, anchoring, or strapping around the trunk.
• Choose proper strap width and clip size for compatibility.
• Check quantities needed for multi-point anchoring or multiple plantings.
• Assess whether a tree dolly is needed for safe handling during installation.

Installation Guidance

• Use Arborbrace or Twister systems when anchoring trees without above-ground stakes.
• Stakes or rebar may be used when specified by landscape plans or site conditions.
• Allow slight trunk movement to encourage proper tree structure.
• Inspect straps and anchors periodically and adjust if needed.

Please note: Stabilization materials should be removed once the tree is established. Timing varies by project, planting size, and environmental conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What tree stability products do I need for a new planting?
A: Product selection depends on tree size, soil conditions, and site exposure. Some projects use anchor systems like Arborbrace or Twister, while others use stakes, straps, or slings for handling and positioning.

Q: How do I choose the right strap width?
A: Bandit straps come in 5/8″ and 3/4″ widths. Choose based on tree size, installation method, and the clip size required for proper fastening.

Q: Do you carry tree stakes?
A: Yes — we stock lodge pole stakes in 6′ and 8′ lengths, as well as 1/2″ × 2′ rebar for various support methods.

Q: Are tree slings used for lifting or long-term support?
A: Tree slings are used for lifting, positioning, and handling trees during installation. They are not intended to remain in place after planting.

Q: What is the difference between Arborbrace and Twister systems?
A: Arborbrace systems typically use ground anchors and straps positioned around the tree, while Twister systems use a ground anchor and tensioning method to secure trees during installation.

Q: How long should stabilization systems remain installed?
A: Timing varies by tree size, soil conditions, and site exposure. Stabilization materials should be inspected regularly and removed once the tree is stable.
