Jan-Willem van Giessen from Trellex started out producing and supplying metal training stakes for fruit and vegetable production. Then in 2019 he started to produce optimised metal posts for trellis and cover systems for fruit production. The right support is important for every grower but also for the successful harvest of every crop. Trellex has developed steel posts which combine strength and longevity with stability and flexibility, which are at the same time light and easy to install. The reduced weight also has a positive impact on transport costs. Trellex has developed posts made of strip steel with a Magnelis (corrosion resistant) coating. The best possible strip galvanisation on the market today. See https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=ER0R8K3nLXY Research results show that an 8-angled profile with a certain material thickness is the optimum shape for steel support posts. This profile can withstand both lateral forces and pressure from above, such as from hail and high wind speeds. In addition to posts Trellex offers a wide range of accessories for a complete structure system. Unlike treated timber or concrete posts, Trellex posts will have a sustainable recyclable value.

Trellex – The complete solution with the best priceperformance ratio.

Inseason Ag Innovations and Trellex combined can design and supply a complete structure and hail release netting system to meet the requirements of any grower or crop, whether it be single row, three row or V-trellis.
