Support Systems for Open Gable Trellising

Open Gable Trellising is a layout method often used in modern vineyards and orchards to maximise light penetration and air circulation, which can improve fruit quality and yield. It requires a strong, stable support structure – which is where Gripple’s wire tensioners and anchoring solutions make the difference.
