As long as
there has been viticulture, the
preservation of timber vineyard posts
has been a major issue. Recently various
traditional timber preservation products
such as CCA (treated timber) have been
identified as potentially harmful to the
environment and in some cases have been
banned or phased out. Plastic Pole Vault
provides an environmentally friendly
timber post that is non-toxic, with no
leaching of chemicals. |
|
Plastic
Pole Vault posts have been in the ground
in Vineyards for more than three years
and the feed-back that has been received
from both growers and contractors has
been very positive. The Fosters Group
have successfully utilised 12,000 posts
for a 30ha installation in the Barossa
Valley. |
|
Even
throughout the recent drought,
contractors were able to install Plastic
Pole Vault posts into extremely hard,
rocky ground using a standard hydraulic
‘whacker’. The Plastic Pole Vault post
can be handled in exactly the same
manner as a standard timber post and if
extreme conditions are encountered, then
pre-drilling is recommended. |
|
Plastic
Pole Vault offers a product that is the
complete vineyard post without the
requirement of on site assembly and they
are easy to handle, pack, transport and
install. |
|
There are other alternative posts out
there in the marketplace that are either
too flexible, lack strength, too heavy
(remember OH&S obligations), too costly,
too difficult to install and attach
foliage wires, damage equipment – or
simply, just do not do the job they are
expected to do. |
|
So when
you compare cost, rigidity (especially
after sun exposure), weight, appearance,
and longevity, that is when Plastic Pole
Vault posts offer benefits to
viticulturists that far exceed
alternative products. |
