How to make a sleeper for grapes

Grapes are a wonderful gift of nature. This plant has no definite form and belongs to Lianam. Therefore, a prerequisite for its cultivation in the garden plot and normal fruiting is the presence of support. In the first years after landing, it is enough to use stakes. But a three-year-old plant already needs a better design, and the owners are installed for grapes special trellis.

To begin with, consider what advantages the cultivation of grapes on the trellis is possessed:

Supports help evenly grow and post off.
Uniform placing supports and shoots, which contributes to the maximum lighting of the plant and obtaining a green mass of sufficient amount of sunlight. Thanks to this, grapes grows healthy and sustainable to the factors of the external environment and bad weather.
With proper placement of the supports, the shading is excluded by one bush of another.
Grapes on the supports fertile better.
Convenient design Trellier facilitates the plant care and the shelter procedure of the bush for the winter.
Due to the good air circulation, the risk of fungal diseases of the plant decreases and the damage to its pests.
Convenient design of the set.

Among numerous designs, the trellis allocate their main types:

Single bed. Based on the name, it is located in the same plane. It is better to install it for young grape bushes. It is also suitable for small or decorative grapes. The main advantage is the ease of installation. However, for large vineyards, it is better to give preference to another type of support.
Two-plane choplera. Consists of 2 planes. This design is suitable for growing grapes on the scale of the household, because it allows farmers to rationally place bushes, ensuring their maximum increase, increase the pollinability of the inflorescences and obtain a greater harvest. Also suitable for gravity varieties.
Arch. The cultivation method of grapes on arched structures is also popular, as, along with this, it is excellent for vertical landscaping of the site and its zoning - for example, the arrangement of the recreation corners.
Agazhable cholerar. For the cultivation of the vines of the hosts, the arbors are adjusted, the walls of houses and other buildings in the garden, which is a common reception in landscape design. The energy of the sun leaves are used to the maximum - up to 90%.

Making trellis for grapes is a fascinating and not at all difficult lesson, no difficulties will arise if you first familiarize yourself with our instructions. To begin with, determine the place on the site where grapes will be grown. Take into account that this is a long-term culture, so the vineyard is not for one year. Trelliers are recommended to have sorts from north to south: in the morning the bushes will be covered from the east, in the lunchtime, the inner part will receive solar energy, and in the evening - Western. When choosing a two-plane chopper, the distance between the rows increases at least up to 3 meters.

The choice of material is getting closer attention:

As a support, wooden poles, asbetic or metal pipes.
The second option is preferable, since the vineyard is fruits for decades, and pillars made of wood may not withstand this time - as a rule, in 5-7 years, they begin to rot and go to the side of the strained wire. Pipes must have a diameter of about 12-15 cm.
If you have chosen the first option, it is worth using only solid wood - ash, chestnut, oak. But Maple, Birch, Lipa and Olha are considered unsuitable, the same applies to young and wet wood. Be sure to clean the wooden poles from the bark, and the lower part of them is treated with a resin, diesel engineer or wrap the referee to increase their service.
The crossbars are made of wire - copper or aluminum, as the iron will rust. And the usual rope is not insured against cliffs. Wire must have a section of about 2-4 mm.

Now we calculate the sizes of pipes for the troops and prepare them for installation:

Support poles must have a height of at least 2.1 m: the visible part is 1.5-2 m, underground - 0.6-0.7 m. The optimal option is 2.5 m.
Follow the pipes as follows: The first mark should be located at the ground level - 60-70 cm, the remaining placed in 40-50 cm. The first designation is made above in order to avoid the spore of the ribbon mushroom and microbes from the soil and contamination of the grapes of grapes.
Secure on each post, guided by the marks made, transverse beams from fittings or old corners, welding welding. There is also another option - drill a hole in the pipe where and insert the fasteners.

Installation of trellis for grapes is carried out in this way:

Pillars or pipes set with a step that is 3-4 meters.
Drop the pit that should have a depth of 60-70 centimeters.
The pipe is located in it vertically, the position is controlled by the level.
Next, it is necessary to fall asleep all with stones, the bay subsequently with cement mortar. In addition, the cheat brick is suitable.
To prevent the collapse of the pillars under the weight of the bush, you need to create rigs ribs. Make additional racks by connecting the upper ends of the pipes using thinner pipes.
In addition, do not forget about the periodic anti-corrosion processing of metal supports.
At the final stage, it remains to pull the wire after the cement will strengthen 2-3 days. We work in the direction from the top of the pillar to the bottom.

We hope our article helped you choose the appropriate design of the trellis for grapes. Let your vineyard be fruits as long as possible, a generous harvest!
