You will need a hammer and 17mm spanner. Bolt the 2 halves of your tree guard together around your tree. Stamp legs into the ground an inch or so. Split tree guard and remove. Bang a stay into each of the indents made by the legs and using a laser or spirit level make sure all the stays are the same height then replace your tree guard and bolt to stays.
