The 11.040 Tree Guard Plate, designed by Tomasz Szpyt, represents a sophisticated solution in the category of urban furniture, specifically engineered to provide protection and aesthetic enhancement for city trees. Crafted from durable carbon steel (S235JR), this tree guard is built to withstand the rigors of high-traffic public spaces while ensuring the long-term health and growth of urban greenery. The construction utilizes high-quality steel flat bars in dimensions of 40x6, 30x6, and 20x6, resulting in a robust and resilient structure. With a substantial thickness of 1 ½ inches, the plate provides a stable, protective foundation that integrates seamlessly into modern street furniture landscapes.

Flexibility in design is central to the 11.040 model, which is available in a variety of grid sizes to accommodate different spatial requirements. Clients may choose from outer diameters of 120 cm, 150 cm, 180 cm, or 200 cm, allowing for precise customization based on the surrounding infrastructure and project scale. The tree hole diameter is adjustable within the 50-80 cm range, ensuring the guard can be tailored to trees of varying stages of maturity. The weight of these units ranges from 243 lbs to 474 lbs depending on the chosen configuration, providing the necessary heft to remain securely in place within any metropolitan pedestrian zone or public plaza.

This tree protection element is not merely a functional utility but a design-forward component of the modern landscape architecture toolkit. By preventing soil compaction and protecting the base of the trunk from accidental mechanical damage, the Tree Guard Plate fulfills a critical role in maintaining the vitality of urban environments. As an essential piece of street furniture, it offers a clean, industrial aesthetic that complements contemporary architectural styles. The precision-engineered steel construction ensures a long service life, making it a reliable investment for urban planners and landscape designers seeking to incorporate durable, high-quality urban furniture into their master-planned developments.
