The advantages of steel vine stakes: strong-practical-economical

In the modern wine business, it’s not just the vines and the terroir that count, but also the infrastructure. An often underestimated but decisive element is the vine stake. Here, more and more winegrowers are opting for steel variants – and with good reason.

• Resistance

Profiles adapted to facilitate the passage of machinery, combined with quality steels to withstand loads and winds, make posts in profiled steel particularly high-performance.

• Longevity

The choice of galvanization depends on the PH of the soil. The various galvanizations can be used to achieve a service life of several decades.

• Profitability

Even if acquisition costs are a little higher, the investment pays for itself in the very short term. Easier installation, pre-equipped posts, no need to install accessories, faster operation (readings), fewer replacements and less maintenance all add up to rapid savings.

• Environment

Steel is infinitely recyclable. At the end of their life, the posts themselves are entirely recyclable, which is an advantage in terms of environmental protection. NB: recycled steel should not be confused with decommissioned steel.

• Ease of use

Thanks to their standardized dimensions and clever fastening systems, steel posts are easy to use, saving time during installation, lifting and maintenance.

Conclusion:

The strength of a steel post is determined by the quality of the steel and its weight per metre.

Galvanizing ensures long service life. Stainless steel is rarely used, due to its high cost.

Steel vine posts are the future of modern winegrowing. They not only help to reduce production costs, but also contribute to the quality of the vineyard. A real added value that pays off in the short term.
