Function & Requirements Function & Requirements of a Vineyard Trellis of a Vineyard Trellis Serves as a framework for training and supporting the vines. • Must be strong enough to support large crops and withstand high winds. Our patented cross arms are the most versatile on the market

 

• Must last 20 or more years with routine maintenance

 

The open-gable is a Y-shaped trellis, similar to that used for table-grape production. Canes are tied to wires supported by the cross
arms.

 

 

 

Overview:
The Open Gable trellis system is design for expansive canopies. Initially designed for table grape varieties, recently the Open Gable system has been used successfully in the production of DOV (dried on the vine) raisin production. Our Open Gable system replicates the current versions but by using our patented posts and cross arms we eliminate assembly and maintenance. 

 

Capacity:

Test weighted to more than 35 tons

Wire Capability:

up to every 3" ,Place wire channels up to every 3 inches allowing you to place wires at any location

Height:

Post height up to 10', Cross Arm Angled to 25 degrees

Width:

Cross Arm width up to 12'

 

 

If the posts have been set correctly, a consumption of the zinc coating of approximately 1 to 1.0 µm can be expected in the soil area of the posts by all types of galvanization. For a hot-dip galvanized post, this means a life span of over 5-8 years.
