V #3 Posts

V #3 Posts are GV's proprietary angled-post design for V-shaped trellis systems in apple and pear orchards and specialty-grape training. Installed in pairs at an angle from vertical, they support bilateral cordons diverging overhead, building the V-wall canopy architecture that high-density systems are trained on.

Definition

GV's V-post design for angled trellis

A steel post sourced to GV's own geometry, angle and cross-section specifications for V-shaped trellis systems, installed at an angle from vertical to support bilateral canopy geometry in overhead training configurations.

Material and finish

Steel specification and protection

Available plain or hot-dip galvanized for outdoor vineyard and orchard rows.

System role

Angled post support for diverging canopy

Installed at an angle from vertical in V-trellis configurations where two cordons diverge overhead, the post creates a V-shaped canopy frame that resists lateral loads and fruit weight distributed across the angled geometry.

How it works

Install posts in pairs to spread the load

Install posts in pairs, left and right of the row, angled from vertical to create the overhead divergence points for bilateral cordons. The angled geometry spreads canopy and fruit load across a wider base, giving you the dense fruit positioning and overhead light exposure high-density systems are built around.

Common applications

Where it is used.

Application

Apple and pear high-density Tatura systems

Tatura V-wall systems set V #3 Posts at an angle to form the divergence frame your bilateral cordons train along overhead, concentrating fruit in a narrow, light-filled wall instead of a spread canopy.

Application

Table grape angled-V training systems

Table-grape V and Y systems mount bilateral cordons overhead along angled V #3 Posts, with multiple fruiting wires at staggered heights putting fruit where sun and picker access are both easiest.

Application

Stone-fruit and specialty V-wall systems

Cherry, plum and other stone-fruit V-wall systems use angled V #3 Posts to lift bilateral cordons overhead, packing more fruit-bearing canopy into a narrower row than a vertical system allows — the same angled-post approach carries over to any orchard or vineyard system built around a V-wall or Y-shaped canopy, spreading canopy load across a wider base while keeping fruit concentrated overhead.

What makes V #3 Posts different for vineyard and orchard systems?

V #3 Posts are an angled-post design for V-shaped vineyard and orchard trellis systems. They are supplied in plain or hot dip galvanized finish for different site conditions.

Which trellis systems use V #3 Posts?

V #3 Posts serve V-shaped vineyard and orchard trellis systems, where angled posts lift bilateral cordons overhead. Cherry, plum and other stone-fruit V-wall systems use them to hold more fruit-bearing canopy in the row.
