Vineyard end posts are the structural anchors of any vineyard trellis system. Installed at the ends of each row, these posts are specifically designed to withstand high loads, providing essential support for maintaining wire tension throughout the trellis. Their strength is crucial for ensuring overall system stability, especially under harsh weather conditions.

High-Quality materials for maximum durability
Sika vineyard trellis end posts are made from premium-grade steel and are available in both galvanized and corten steel variants. These materials are carefully selected for their exceptional corrosion resistance and their ability to withstand the elements over time. Corten steel, in particular, offers the added benefit of blending naturally with the vineyard landscape thanks to its rust-colored finish, making the posts less visually intrusive.
Why choose Sika vineyard end posts
Choosing Sika trellis posts means investing in a trellising solution that enhances vineyard efficiency and productivity while delivering long-term economic value. Thanks to their robust construction and minimal maintenance requirements, our steel vineyard posts help growers safeguard their crops and support vine growth year after year.
Installing Sika vineyard posts
Installing vineyard line posts
Sika vineyard line posts are designed for quick and efficient installation. We recommend a spacing of 4 to 5 meters between posts to ensure proper structural stability. In areas subject to strong winds, this distance should be reduced for added wind resistance. Posts should be driven 60–70 cm into the ground. Made from galvanized or corten steel, Sika posts adapt well to various soil conditions, including rocky terrain where pre-drilling may be required. These materials ensure durability while also being easy to handle during setup.
Installing vineyard end posts
For vineyard end posts, we recommend installing them at a 45° to 60° angle and driving them 15–20 cm deeper than intermediate posts to ensure secure anchoring. For maximum row stability, a double wire should connect the end post to its anchor. End posts can be installed manually using a post driver, ensuring a fast and effective installation process.
Vineyard accessories
To complete your trellis system, Sika offers a full range of vineyard supplies that enhance performance and ensure structural cohesion. These include stainless steel trellis wire tensioners, tensioning springs, wire spacers, and stainless steel vine hooks to maintain proper wire distance and alignment. Stainless steel vineyard ties offer a durable solution for securing vines. Our vineyard anchors, featuring concrete bases and galvanized rods, ensure firm anchoring of the system. We also offer galvanized vineyard wire and corten vineyard wire, both chosen for their strength and resistance to environmental stress. These accessories integrate seamlessly with Sika posts, creating a cohesive and reliable vineyard trellis system.
Corten vineyard posts. Performance meets aesthetics
Sika corten vineyard posts combine functionality and natural aesthetics. Corten steel is well known for its excellent corrosion resistance and natural passivation process, which forms a protective outer patina. This makes it ideal for long-term use with minimal maintenance while also reducing visual impact in scenic or heritage vineyards. Its rustic appearance blends with the landscape, making it the preferred solution for high-value agricultural areas. Despite fluctuations in raw material pricing, corten vineyard posts remain, on average, 20% more affordable than traditional options of the same profile and thickness.
Galvanized vineyard posts. Long-term protection
Sika galvanized vineyard posts are the go-to choice for growers seeking reliable protection against weathering. Our hot-dip galvanization process is applied after forming the post, coating every surface with a durable zinc layer that protects against moisture and chemicals in the soil. This method ensures complete coverage, even in hard-to-reach areas, dramatically extending product life. Galvanized posts are particularly suitable for demanding environments where corrosion resistance is critical to maintaining installation integrity over time.
Materials and cold-formingtechnology behind our vineyard posts
All Sika vineyard posts are produced using high-quality materials to guarantee optimal performance and durability. We primarily use three types of steel, each offering specific advantages:
- Corten Steel undergoes a natural passivation process that forms a protective oxide layer, shielding it from weather and corrosion. Its rustic finish allows it to blend seamlessly into natural environments, reducing visual impact in vineyards.
- Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel is treated after profiling, forming a robust zinc barrier that offers excellent corrosion protection. It is ideal for vineyards located in humid or saline environments where durability is key.
- Pre-Galvanized Steel is coated before forming, ensuring that even the interior surfaces and edges of the post are fully protected. This method offers a high level of environmental resistance and long-term security.
Cold-forming: precision and strength in every post
Our advanced cold-forming process is a key differentiator in the production of Sika vineyard posts. By shaping the steel at room temperature, we ensure superior precision and mechanical consistency. This method preserves the material’s integrity, resulting in stronger posts with customizable profiles adapted to different vineyard layouts. The precision of cold-forming makes Sika posts easier to install, reduces on-site labor time, and lowers overall operating costs—while maximizing the system’s structural integrity.
