Double Bag Setup
A Treegator Original Double Bag setup is when two (2) single Treegator Original bags are zipped together back-to-back.
When to Use a Double Bag Setup
- When watering a newly planted tree from 10 to 20 cm (4 to 8 inch) caliper (trunk diameter), wrap a Double Bag setup around trunk.
- When watering older established trees with fully developed root systems, a Double Bag setup can also be used as a stand-alone watering solution (i.e. not wrapped around a trunk - contact us for additional details on this configuration).
Double Bag Setup Capacity
When two Treegator Original Bags are zipped together back-to-back, it allows each bag to expand more than it normally would when zipped to itself around the trunk of a tree (Single Bag setup).
The amount of water each Treegator Original Bag can hold when used in a Double bag setup is dependent upon the caliper of the tree it is being used on.
The chart below shows the water capacity range of a Double Bag setup:
| Trunk Caliper (diameter) | Approx. Water Capacity Per Bag | Approx. Water Capacity Per Double Bag Setup |
|---|---|---|
| 0 cm (0 inch) | 95 litres (25 gallons) | 190 litres (50 gallons) |
| 10 cm (4 inch) | 89 litres (23.5 gallons) | 178 litres (47 gallons) |
| 12 cm (5 inch) | 87 litres (23.125 gallons) | 175 litres (46.25 gallons) |
| 15 cm (6 inch) | 86 litres (22.75 gallons) | 172 litres (45.5 gallons) |
| 17cm (7 inch) | 84 litres (22.375 gallons) | 169 litres (44.75 gallons) |
