Trellis Material Prices
The very restricted range of products on offer - i.e. Monofil wire, Gripples and vine clips are things that I have used - and hence field tested - for many (about 20) years and can recommend. They are widely used by commercial growers but most amateurs are either unaware of them or have no supplier.
 |
For anybody not familiar with the products, here is a vine shoot clipped to a Monofil wire tensioned with a Gripple.More illustrations. |
Monofil wire
Monofil is made from nylon and has the advantage that it is light (about 1/6th of the weight of steel wire of the same diameter), does not corrode and does not easily kink or deform like steel wire; it can be tensioned easily with Gripples (see below). The only risk with it is that it can easily cut with seccateurs - so care is needed when harvesting and pruning. If cut, however, it can easilly be rejoined with a Gripple. I have accidentally cut a wire only once twice!
Monofil comes in various diameters: 2.5 and 3.0mm are most useful for growing grapes; the larger the diameter the more expensive it is per metre run. For short runs, 2.5mm is adequate. The tensile strength is about 260kg for the 2.5mm and 345kg for the 3mm. Only the 3mm diameter wire is not stocked.
Price
Delivery charge is for a single item; when delivered with other trellis materials or vines a delivey cost will be quoted for the total order as part of the confirmation. Unfortunately, due to the fall in exchange rate against the Euro, new stock is considerably more expensive and this is now reflected in the prices.

Gripples
Gripples are a proprietory wire tensioner and joiner - quick overview
Note that the overview shows the plastic, garden product, not the metal gripples illustrated above and priced below. A pair of pliers is all that is needed to tension the wire, at least for short lengths. For longer lengths and lots of wire, I have a special tool that can be hired.
| Pack size | Pack price(£) | Delivery(£) |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 5.50 | 2.50 |
| 8 | 10.00 | 3.00 |
| More than 8 or special tool hire | Contact Jack |
Clips
The number of these clips used in viticulture is many millions. One end loops round the wire and hangs on and the other end is releasable (so it is there ready for next year when the current year’s growth is cut down). Fits either 2.5 or 3mm wire.
| Pack size | Pack price (£) | Delivery(£) |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 8.00 | 3.00 |
