PERGOLA STRUCTURES
In modern table grape production, the pergola system offers an innovative approach to vineyard management by combining trellises with vine covers.
The pergola system works by elevating the fruiting zone above the canopy and distancing the grapes from both the dense foliage and supporting wires.
This configuration creates a controlled environment - with this improved microclimate control that optimises temperature regulation, improves light uniformity and enhances airflow, growers can manage canopy density and fruit development.
The design also allows for the use of low-volume sprayers, enabling efficient application across 3 rows by accessing them through a single row.
The pergola system is also highly adaptable—it can be tweaked to suit the unique needs of each farm!
At GrapeCare, we offer consultations services to help you design your own customised pergola system using Aniplast Vine Covers.
Key Features of the Pergola System
Enhanced
Temperature Control
Improved airflow and regulated internal temperature for optimal fruit development.
Flexible
Design
Adaptable system that can be customised to meet specific farm and grower
requirements.
Uniform Light Distribution
Even exposure across the canopy ensures consistent
ripening and higher fruit quality.
Elevated Fruiting
Zone
Separates fruit from
canopy clutter,
reducing damage
and disease risk.
Efficient
Spraying
Supports low-volume sprayers to effectively cover up to three rows from one access point.
Simplified
Harvesting
Better fruit positioning leads to easier, less damaging harvesting operations, reduces the risk of fruit damage.
