Crossarm - 36" L Style With Three Slots Each Side-4'' Slot To Slot

Crossarms are crucial in vineyard trellis systems, providing essential support for canes, cordon wires, and foliage management. The 36" L-Style Crossarm with three slots on each side is designed to offer maximum structural stability, flexibility, and long-lasting performance. With 4" slot-to-slot spacing, it provides an efficient wire management system, making it ideal for vineyards that require a strong and adaptable trellis solution.

Key Features and Benefits

Robust L-Style Design for Optimal Vine Support

The L-Style configuration of this 36" cross-arm provides even weight distribution, ensuring that the vines are adequately supported throughout the growing season. This helps:

• Reduce strain on trellis wires and stakes
• Minimize sagging and wire displacement
• Maintain a well-structured vine canopy for better growth and airflow

With its extended 36" width, this cross-arm is ideal for more extensive vineyards looking for broad trellis support.

Pre-Punched Universal U-Bolt Holes for Easy Installation

To simplify installation, this cross-arm comes with pre-punched U-bolt holes that fit most standard vineyard stakes, making attachment quick and effortless.

• Fast and secure installation with T-posts or in-line stakes
• Firm and stable hold to prevent shifting or movement
• Compatible with a wide range of vineyard trellis systems

This feature ensures that installation time is minimized while maximizing the efficiency and security of the trellis system.

Heavy-duty galvanized Steel Construction

Built from high-quality galvanized steel, this cross-arm is engineered for maximum durability and weather resistance.

• 14-gauge steel is standard, offering a strong balance of weight and durability
• 12-gauge and 13-gauge options available upon request for increased strength
• The rust-resistant coating protects against moisture, UV rays, and vineyard conditions

This ensures that the cross-arm remains reliable and effective season after season, even in harsh outdoor environments.

Three Slots Per Side for Maximum Wire Placement Flexibility

This 36" cross-arm features three precision-cut slots per side, spaced 4" apart, allowing vineyard managers to:

• Customize wire positioning for different vine training methods
• Support multiple wire levels, improving vine structure and canopy management
• Increase stability and durability, preventing excessive wire movement

This multi-slot configuration makes it versatile and adaptable to various trellis styles and vineyard layouts.

Available in Multiple Lengths and Custom Sizes

While the 36" cross-arm provides broad trellis support, vineyards can also choose from a range of standard sizes, including 6", 12 ", 24", and 30". Custom orders can be tailored for specialized vineyard requirements, including:

• Extra-wide cross-arms for extended canopy management
• Additional slots or notches for specific wire placements
• More substantial gauge options for vineyards with heavy foliage loads

This ensures flexibility when designing a trellis system that meets the specific needs of each vineyard.

Improved Air Circulation and Sunlight Exposure

Adding cross-arms to T-posts or in-line stakes allows for better control over vine spacing, which leads to:

• Enhanced air circulation, reducing the risk of mold, mildew, and disease
• Even sun exposure promotes consistent grape ripening
• Improved vine organization, making maintenance and harvesting easier

Vineyards can maximize their yield and grape quality by creating a well-balanced trellis system.

Ideal for Multi-Tiered Canopy Management

Vineyards that use a tiered approach for canopy management can greatly benefit from the 36" cross-arm, as it helps create an inverted "V" structure with varying cross-arm sizes.

• Smaller cross-arms at the base help train lower canes
• Larger cross arms at the top provide expanded canopy support
• Prevents overcrowding, ensuring optimal vine development

This approach allows vineyards to adapt to different grape varieties and their growth habits.

J-R Clip for T-Post Compatibility

For vineyards utilizing T-post trellis systems, the J-R Clip ensures a secure attachment, preventing the cross-arm from shifting under pressure.

• Increases trellis stability for high-wind environments
• Helps maintain vine alignment, reducing labor-intensive adjustments
• Improves longevity, ensuring the trellis remains strong over multiple growing seasons

Final Words

The 36" L-Style Crossarm with three slots per side is a versatile, heavy-duty trellis component designed to enhance vineyard efficiency, canopy management, and vine support. With pre-punched U-bolt holes for quick installation, a durable steel structure, and multi-slot flexibility, this cross-arm is an excellent investment for long-term vineyard success. For vineyards requiring custom configurations, larger sizes and more substantial gauge options are available upon request.
