The Hedgerow Grant 5m Planting Pack is a complete, ready-to-install protection and support kit ideal for farmers, landowners, estates, and contractors creating new hedgerows or carrying out gapping-up works. Designed to meet the requirements of UK countryside stewardship schemes—specifically BN11: Hedgerow Planting and BN7: Hedgerow Gapping-Up—this convenient bundle provides everything you need to protect newly planted whips over a 5-metre run.

Each pack includes 75 x 60cm Clear Spiral Guards and 75 x 90cm 12–14lb Bamboo Canes—a proven combination for safeguarding young hedgerow plants during their early establishment phase.

The 60cm clear spirals protect against rabbits, small mammals, strimmer damage, weather exposure, and general maintenance activity. Their expanding design allows quick installation and supports natural plant growth, while the UV-stabilised plastic ensures long-lasting durability in the field.

Every spiral is paired with a 90cm thick bamboo cane to provide stable, upright support for hedge whips. These robust, sustainable canes help reduce wind rock, encourage straight growth, and improve establishment rates—especially in exposed or high-traffic rural environments.

This compact 5m kit is ideal for small planting runs, test sections, single-line boundaries, estate maintenance, infill planting, and first-year establishment ahead of further hedgerow growth. The materials included are compliant for BN11 and BN7 capital item claims, making the pack a cost-effective and grant-ready choice for stewardship projects.

Please note: hedge plants/whips are not included and must be ordered separately.

About the BN11 & BN7 Grants

The BN11 (Hedgerow Planting) and BN7 (Hedgerow Gapping-Up) grants support farmers and landowners in restoring and expanding the UK’s hedgerow network as part of Environmental Land Management (ELM) and countryside stewardship programmes. These schemes help fund approved materials such as spirals, canes, plants, and labour. Using compliant items—like those included in this pack—helps ensure successful claim submissions and smooth audit checks.
