Connecting HDPE Pieces

There are two ways to connect multiple pieces of HDPE together. One method is to overlap the HDPE and use our double sided seam tape to connect the two pieces. The other method is to butt the ends together and use our 17 mil single sided seam tape to create a solid connection.

Overlap Method
(for underground installations)

The overlap method is best used when connecting two pieces of HDPE in a buried application. Due to the overlap, a ridge is exposed which is not ideal when installed in exposed vertical or flat installations in high traffic areas as there is a possibility of an object catching on the ridge and pulling the two pieces apart.

In a below ground installation, the large overlap area provides a more water resistant connection as well as enhanced protection against tree and plant root intrusion.

End to End Method (for exposed installations)

When installing HDPE on a wall, floor or anywhere that is exposed, the end to end method provides a secure connection and does not leave any ridges exposed to potential catching by a person or object.

    Wrap Around Squirrel Baffle for Trees: Protect Your Trees the Smart Way

    Keeping squirrels away from trees can be a constant battle for homeowners, landscapers, and gardeners alike. These nimble creatures often damage trees, raid bird feeders, or access structures they shouldn’t. Our Wrap Around Squirrel Baffle for Trees provides an innovative and effective solution to this problem. In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits, features, and installation tips for this essential tree protection tool.

    What is a Wrap Around Squirrel Baffle?

    A squirrel baffle is a barrier designed to deter squirrels and other climbing animals from scaling trees. The Wrap Around Squirrel Baffle for Trees is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a smooth, durable, and flexible plastic that prevents squirrels from gaining a grip and climbing higher.

    Features of the Wrap Around Squirrel Baffle for Trees

    1. Durable Construction
    Crafted from heavy-duty HDPE, the baffle is available in two thickness options:

    • 40 mil (3/64”): Lightweight and easy to handle.
    • 60 mil (5/64”): Slightly thicker for enhanced durability.

    This rugged material ensures long-lasting protection, even in challenging environments.

    2. UV-Resistant Design
    Sustained exposure to sunlight can degrade many materials, but this baffle is equipped with built-in UV inhibitors. These additives extend the lifespan of the plastic, ensuring it won’t crack, warp, or weaken under prolonged sunlight exposure.

    3. Climate Versatility
    The baffle performs well in extreme temperatures, making it suitable for both hot and cold climates. Whether you live in a snowy northern region or a sunny southern state, the baffle will maintain its effectiveness.

    4. Customizable Options
    Available in a variety of roll widths, the baffle can be tailored to trees of different sizes, making it perfect for both residential yards and commercial landscapes.

    5. Made in the USA
    Proudly manufactured in the United States, this product reflects quality craftsmanship and supports local industries.

    Benefits of Using a Squirrel Baffle

    • Tree Protection: Prevent squirrels from damaging bark or accessing sensitive areas, like nesting sites for birds.
    • Bird Feeder Security: If a bird feeder is mounted on the tree, a baffle can prevent squirrels from stealing seed or damaging the feeder.
    • Cost Savings: Reduce the need for tree repairs or replacement due to damage.
    • Environmentally Friendly: Non-toxic and safe for wildlife, the baffle discourages squirrels without harming them.

    Installation Tips for Maximum Effectiveness

    Installing a Wrap Around Squirrel Baffle for Trees is simple and requires minimal tools:
    1. Measure the Tree Diameter: Choose a roll width that matches the tree’s size for a snug fit.
    2. Locate the Installation Height: Position the baffle at least 5-6 feet above the ground to prevent squirrels from jumping over it.
    3. Wrap the Baffle Around the Tree: Wrap the plastic snugly around the trunk and secure it in place. Many users use weather-resistant ties or fasteners.
    4. Check the Fit: Ensure there are no gaps between the baffle and the tree.
    5. Inspect Regularly: Periodically check the baffle for wear or damage and re-secure it as needed.
