Installation of Tree Protection Fencing According to BS5837:2012

Safeguarding Trees During Construction

Protecting trees during development is essential for meeting planning requirements and maintaining healthy landscapes. First Fence now offers a range of BS 5837:2012‑compliant Tree Protection Fencing systems, designed to safeguard Root Protection Areas (RPAs) throughout construction. Explore what tree protection fencing is, why it matters, and how to choose the right system for your project.

What Is Tree Protection Fencing?

Tree protection fencing is a temporary barrier installed on construction sites to prevent damage to trees during development. It creates a secure exclusion zone around the Root Protection Area (RPA), helping to prevent:

• Soil compaction
• Root disturbance
• Trunk and branch impact
• Chemical or material contamination

Built from durable materials such as scaffold tube, timber, and mesh panels, these systems provide a clear physical and visual boundary. When installed correctly, they support compliance with BS 5837:2012 and help ensure the long‑term survival of retained trees.
