Root Guard Gopher Baskets are uniquely designed to keep troublesome gophers away from delicate plant roots. The mini baskets are specifically designed to protect small plants in 4" pots while the larger ones work for everything from bulbs to small shrubs (size up according to your needs). When selecting the proper size for your plants, choose a basket that is one size larger than the plant's root ball to allow for plant growth. These baskets have multiple attributes to maximize their effectiveness, ease-of use, and desirability:

  • Made of heavy duty 20 gauge wire to prevent gophers from chewing through.
  • Hexagonal-shaped openings in the wire are smaller than regular chicken wire. This smaller size mesh allows for root growth while keeping the gophers at bay.
  • Mini Baskets are 1/2" mesh and Larger Baskets are 3/4" mesh.
  • Wire is woven and vinyl coated to keep baskets strong and to eliminate sharp edges.
  • Opens in seconds and pops into shape easily.
  • Free standing for easy planting and to allow for up-sizing when needed.
  • Reusable and easily refolded for storage.

Basket Dimensions:
  • Mini - 4" diameter and 5" deep
  • 1 Gal - 8" diameter and 9" deep

Excellent Purchase

These are perfect baskets for 4" plants and the price is great. A life saver when I planted my fern/hosta garden!


Wire Baskets

I am being overrun by ground squirrels, eating everything. They no longer get my berries and tomatoes. They are protected by the wire baskets. I've won one battle with Arbico's help.


Gopher Wire Basket

I cannot yet do a review because I will not be planting bulbs until the fall. It is my expectation that the baskets will work well, though. How could they not?


Exactly what I needed

Ready to plant my bulbs and not provide lunch for gophers. Easy to set up. Well made.


Tomatoes now protected.

Great product to defeat the gophers. Easy and quick to use. Sellers shipped quickly.


Gopher Basket

The 5 gallon baskets are hard to find so I am happy to get these four. But, the overall width is barely big enough around for transplanting artichokes here in California


Just what the doctor ordered!

My garden is plagued with gophers and moles that have destroyed so many of my plants. In the past I have had to fabricate the wire baskets from rolls of wire netting but now with your easy-to-shape baskets, I am spared that laborious chore.
