The wire guards are designed for use with Sapling 12” and 16” round analog clocks and the 4” digital clocks. Each guard is fabricated from 6 and 9 gauge steel rods which are welded together and hot dipped in a zinc coating to protect from corrosion. The wire guards are hinged for convenient access to the analog or digital clocks. The heavy duty wire guards come complete with fixed tabs welded to the guard for mounting directly to a wall or ceiling.
