The use of galvanised vineyard steel posts has become a benchmark in the viticulture industry due to their superior strength and long service life. Sika offers two main types of galvanisation: hot-dip galvanising after profiling, which fully coats the post with a protective zinc layer, and pre-galvanised strip steel, where the post is formed from already zinc-coated sheet metal.
Both methods ensure excellent corrosion protection, significantly extending the lifespan of the post and greatly reducing maintenance needs over time.
Vineyard steel posts. Trellis posts solutions for long-lasting trellis systems
Galvanised vineyard steel posts are engineered for minimal maintenance and easy installation, making them a smart investment for growers who value durability and efficiency.Their protective zinc coating ensures excellent corrosion resistance, allowing them to maintain structural integrity even in harsh environments.This combination of performance and low maintenance makes galvanised steel posts a cost-effective and sustainable choice for any vineyard.
Galvanised vineyard accessories. A complete support system
To complete your trellising system, Sika offers a range of galvanised vineyard accessories including helical ground anchors, galvanised vineyard trellis wire, anti-sink plates for end posts, and galvanised anchor rods for concrete bases. These components ensure full system integrity and are designed to work seamlessly with Sika posts, creating a cohesive and high-performing structure.
Steel vineyard line posts. The backbone of your vineyard rows
Galvanised steel line posts from Sika are essential to maintaining the structure and alignment of vineyard rows. Manufactured using both hot-dip and pre-galvanised processes, these posts provide maximum protection against corrosion and weather exposure. They are simple to install and highly durable, helping vineyard managers establish strong, reliable rows with reduced maintenance and long-term cost savings.
Steel vineyard end posts. Anchor points that hold it all together
Placed at the ends of each row, galvanised vineyard end posts from Sika are designed to handle high loads caused by wire tension and vine weight. Like the line posts, these are treated with the same corrosion-resistant care and offer superior strength and stability. Anchored deeper into the ground and often reinforced with double wire systems, Sika end posts are crucial to securing the entire trellis structure.
Corten as a visual and functional alternative
For those seeking a more natural, landscape-integrated option, Corten vineyard posts offer comparable strength with a lower visual impact. These posts blend beautifully with the surroundings while maintaining excellent resistance to corrosion, making them ideal for vineyards located in scenic or high-profile areas.
Why choose Sika vingard end posts
Choosing Sika vineyard end posts means choosing a trellising solution that enhances productivity and reliability while offering long-term economic value. Sika products are built to last, reduce the need for replacement, and help protect your vines season after season.
High-performance materials for high-end viticulture
Sika vineyard steel posts are manufactured from high-grade materials selected for maximum durability:
- Corten steel offers exceptional corrosion resistance through a natural passivation process, forming a protective outer layer that integrates aesthetically with the landscape.
- Hot-dip galvanised steel, treated after forming, creates a thick, durable zinc coating that’s ideal for high-humidity or coastal regions.
- Pre-galvanised steel is zinc-coated before forming, ensuring full coverage of even hard-to-reach internal surfaces.
Each type offers distinct advantages based on climate, soil type, and vineyard layout.
Installation and maintenance guidelines
Installing metal vineyard trellis line posts
We recommend placing line posts 4 to 5 meters apart for optimal support. In high-wind areas, reduce spacing for increased stability. Posts should be driven 60–70 cm into the ground, and installation is quick and effective, even on rocky soils where pre-drilling may be necessary. Thanks to their strength and form, Sika posts ensure reliable support across all terrains.
Installing steel vineyard end posts
End posts should be installed at an angle of 45° to 60°, buried 15–20 cm deeper than line posts for better anchoring.
For added row stability, we recommend connecting the end post to its anchor with a double-wire system. Installation can be performed manually with a post driver for a fast and secure setup.
Cold-formed profiles. Precision and strength combined
Sika uses advanced cold-forming technology to produce vineyard posts with high dimensional precision and superior mechanical strength.
This process shapes the steel at room temperature, preserving its structural integrity while allowing for customized profiles tailored to vineyard requirements. The result is a stronger, easier-to-install post that helps reduce labor time and long-term operational costs.
