Hedgerow Grant BN11 & BN7 Pack 5m Spirals & Canes

The 5m Hedgerow Planting Grant Pack – 60cm Spirals & 90cm Canes (BN11/BN7 Ready) is a complete, ready-to-use protective guard and support package designed specifically for farmers, landowners, estates, and contractors establishing new or replacement hedgerows. This convenient 5m bundle includes 75 x 60cm x 38mm Clear Spiral Guards and 75 x 90cm 12–14lb Bamboo Canes—the ideal combination for protecting young hedge plants while meeting the requirements of popular UK countryside stewardship grants including BN11: Hedgerow Planting and BN7: Hedgerow Gapping-Up.

The 60cm clear spirals provide robust and reliable defence against rabbits, small mammals, strimmer damage, weather exposure, and mechanical operations. Their expanding spiral design allows fast and easy installation and grows with the plant, ensuring continuous protection during establishment. Manufactured from durable, UV-stabilised plastic, each guard delivers long-lasting field performance suited to farmland, estates, roadside corridors, and environmental stewardship projects.

Pairing each spiral with a 90cm 12–14lb thick bamboo cane gives secure upright support for whips and hedgerow species. These sustainable bamboo canes offer the strength needed for exposed conditions and are ideal for use with spirals, wrap guards, and shelters. The combination ensures straight growth, reduced wind rock, and higher establishment success across newly planted hedge lines.

This perfectly measured 5-metre planting pack is an excellent choice for small runs, infill planting, gapping-up, and first-year establishment before plants grow above browsing height. It is also a highly cost-effective way of meeting BN11 and BN7 capital item requirements, offering compliant materials for grant-supported hedgerow creation schemes.

Please note: hedge whips/plants are not included in this pack and must be purchased separately.

BRIEF ABOUT THE BN11 & BN7 GRANTS

The BN11 Hedgerow Planting and BN7 Hedgerow Gapping-Up grants support farmers and landowners in establishing and restoring hedgerows across the UK as part of Environmental Land Management (ELM) and countryside stewardship programmes. These grants typically fund approved materials such as spiral guards, canes, planting stock, and labour. Using compliant products—such as the spirals and canes in this pack—helps ensure your hedge project meets the requirements for claim submission and audit checks.
