Vineyard Training Stake

A stronger, longer-lasting alternative to bamboo vineyard stakes.

Ag-Steel Vineyard Training Stakes are designed for reliable vine training and new block development. Made from galvanised G250 steel, these 1.2m stakes are stiffer and more durable than traditional bamboo, while being suitable for use with under-vine machinery.

Because they can be reused, they offer a practical, long-term solution for vineyard development – use them year after year and move them to new blocks as required.

 

Key benefits

Long lasting

Galvanised steel provides a durable alternative to bamboo, helping your training stakes withstand the demands of vineyard conditions.

Stiffer than bamboo

The rigid steel construction provides dependable support for young vines as they establish and grow.

Machinery friendly

Designed to be suitable for use with under-vine machinery, helping make vineyard maintenance more efficient.

Reusable

Use the stakes for multiple years and redeploy them when developing new vineyard blocks.

Fully recyclable

At the end of their useful life, the steel can be recycled, making them a more sustainable choice.

One purchase, multiple uses

A reusable steel stake can support several planting and redevelopment cycles, reducing the need to continually replace disposable stakes.

Why choose steel over bamboo?

Bamboo training stakes can be an economical initial purchase, but they are generally intended for shorter-term use. Ag-Steel Vineyard Training Stakes are designed to be reused, making them a longer-term investment for vineyard operators.

Their increased stiffness provides better support for developing vines, while their durability means they can be removed, stored and reused when establishing another block.

For vineyards looking beyond the next planting season, reusable steel stakes make sense.
