From high-wind zones to unpredictable weather patterns, we understand the unique challenges of kiwifruit production. Our cost-effective support and protection systems help you maximise yields while protecting your crop from environmental threats.
From high-wind zones to unpredictable weather patterns, we understand the unique challenges of kiwifruit production. Our cost-effective support and protection systems help you maximise yields while protecting your crop from environmental threats.
Designed for demanding environments
In challenging growing environments, kiwifruit growers can face significant crop losses from wind damage alone, while inadequate support structures can reduce vine productivity and increase maintenance costs.
Drawing on four generations of industry expertise, we design and build integrated systems that enhance productivity while protecting your investment. Our solutions combine robust plant support with comprehensive environmental protection to maximise yields and returns:
- Increase fruit quality with optimal growing conditions
- Protect crops from extreme weather events
- Plant Support and Protective Netting on one intergrated structure
- Future-proof with expandable systems
- Minimise maintenance with durable construction
