The Smartest Solution for your New Development
Concrete is best for new orchard developments (greenfield plantings), where you want certainty from the start.Many growers invest in a trellis first, only to face the disruption and cost of adding hail protection later — but with concrete, both needs are built into one engineered system. This avoids duplication, lowers installation costs, and ensures your orchard is future-ready.
- One structure supports trees from day one and is ready for hail, rain, or bird nets when needed.
- Avoids the cost and disruption of building a trellis first and a protection system later.
- Ideal for growers who want certainty, durability, and long-term value.
Stage 1
Stage 2
The Concrete Advantage
Concrete Orchard structures are engineered for strength and reliability, and are fully adaptable to any orchard layout. The same concrete post is used for the plant support as is used for the hail protection – creating a tensile system that is cross-locked in a grid layout – creating a structure that can stand the test of time.
A Staged Approach
Concrete Structures can be delivered in two stages to support cashflow and manage installation costs
All-in-one Solution
Every concrete post supports the trees and the hail netting – you only require a single structure. Saving you cost on material and installation.
Adaptable for all scenarios
Concrete structure can be adapted for any layout or orchard design, having the capability to be engineered to withstand environmental and crop loadings.
Reduced Installation Costs
All the structural components are installed in Stage 1, leaving a small portion of insulation required for Stage 2 when the protective netting is installed
GPS + 3D MAPPING
Mapped with Precision. Built with Confidence.
We use millimeter-accurate GPS drone mapping with CAD design software, to create your layout, calculate quantities, and give you a structure plan you can build from—without second-guessing.
This sets up:
- Material lists that are right the first time
- Clear install guidance for contractors
- Efficient project sequencing and staging
- Full set of detailed structure drawings
We’ve saved growers thousands just by getting the block right on paper before anything was ordered.
GROW BETTER BY CROP
From intensive pipfruit to vulnerable berries, we understand the specialised protection needs of different crops and growing styles.
