Applications and Usage

• Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP) Trellising The primary application of this 7-foot Rolled Edge Line Post is in VSP trellising systems, where it supports structured, vertical vine growth. The parallel slots and rolled edge make it easy to manage canopy alignment and ensure compatibility with mechanized harvesting.
• Flexible Trellis Configurations With the option to add crossarms using appropriate hardware, this line post supports custom trellis setups. The flexibility in wire movement and the ability to add crossarms allows vineyard managers to tailor the trellis system to suit specific vine training needs.

Recommendations

For optimal results, select the appropriate gauge based on environmental factors and vineyard requirements. Securely install the line post along each row, ensuring stability. Adjust the wires at regular intervals using the parallel slots to match vine growth stages and consider adding crossarms for additional support if needed. Regularly inspect the posts and wire alignment to maintain an efficient VSP trellising system. Following these practices will help improve canopy management, optimize vine alignment, and enhance grape quality across the vineyard.
