What stops them from blowing side to side damaging the bark?

The plastic is pretty rigid and is usually just big enough to go around the trunk. A wider area might need to be staked up. But I've never had any bark damage and I have 30-40 trees fenced.

just put the top on and let it get smoked. for a bark use medium to low heat and let smoke for at least 3 hours

The bark collar has the 2 metal points that are to make contact with the dog. If The collar can move maybe its not tight enough to start? What kind of dog do you have?

Could be that its not adapted to the climate. Chinese elm can adapt but have a harder time if they adapt to indoor and then poot outside. But some adapt well, some don't.

Your question leads me to believe the device is very close to your dog's mouth. When you test the device, you blow on it to make sure it works. If the device is very close to your dog's mouth, just restful breathing set it off due to the sensitivity of the device. You could loosen the collar so it hangs further away, which might help. If memory serves, there is a spray collar with an adjustable setting. Those are a little more pricey and you have to be careful of the settings. You don't want to your dog to get sprayed for another dog's barking. As a last resort, contact the company as they were helpful in sending a replacement as your unit might be too sensitive.

They just wind around the trunk. They stay in place and are very good protection for our young trees. We are very happy with their performance!

I have mine in a tree 4 foot up around 50' from the property line! I has controlled one of the dogs well, real well! It goes running when the 2nd dog barks. The second dog is real young and still to stupid to realize why its getting silenced, but its learning! If it doesn't learn I will put a second silencer up and much closer and it will get it in stereo!

The only think that I can think of is that the feeding bar tension is set too light and when a bid or multiple birds land on the bar it closes off the feeding ports. So you might have to adusst the tension via the notches and the wire lever on the side of thefeeding bar

I think they are after the grubs. Maybe stay away from the drip line of the tree to make sure. It didn't hurt my blue spruce. Good luck

They need to be installed whee they get direct wind as your vehicle moves. This is what makes them whistle, so the deer can hear them .

If you want to keep them from moving, you can run a bead of spray foam around the baseline I did. I also placed insulation around it to prevent me jostling it out of place. I like to keep the top easily accessible so it can be found later.

We have never had this problem but we also had to change the rope it hangs on. We changed to wire because the squirrels ate through the rope. I am not sure how the roof can blow off if there is rope running through it but I think that some sort of clip or clothes pin should hold it down. Squirrels occasionally push up the cover and climb in and the clip might stop this.

It isn't sealed. Smoke comes out of the unit. It does retain a lot of moisture though and that makes it difficult to get a really good bark.

There's an exhaust on one of the sides. You have to vacuum in favor of the exhaust side to keep the dirt swept up from blowing anywhere.

The only trees that pose a problem are pines as the needles go through the bristles and can create clogs - I just clean the gutter around my pine tree from time to time for that. But other leaves, such as from a pecan tree, either fall over the brushes or lodge in the bristles until they decay and turn to dust, and then get washed away by the rain without any clogging whatsoever. The lodged leaves also do not keep the rain water from passing through. A truly great purchase, is my opinion.

I usually turn them over and make my own hole, then shut that hole by pinching the top of the whole lightly shut.Or put a piece of the rockwool over the top of the hole.( do not stuff the hole) Sounds to me your over watering the rockwool though.
