Our range of vineyard protection includes the following:
Tubex Vine Original
Tubex's first vine shelter, and still their premier product for viticulture, the Tubex Vine Original is a first class vine shelter that creates an improved growing environment offering the potential for earlier fruiting, whilst also protecting the vine from animal browsing, herbicide sprays and accidental damage during mechanical weeding.
A sturdy, long-lasting vine guard with an estimated life of five years minimum (the longevity of the shelter is dependent on site and weather conditions, but is typically between five and seven years), the Vine Original is installed by simply firming into the ground and attaching to the bottom trellis wire using a twist tie (not included).
Available in heights of 60cm and 75cm, with a diameter of 90-100mm.
Key features:
- Protects against herbicide spray drift, mechanised weeding and animal browsing
- Suitable for all types of vines and most site conditions
- Especially suitable for larger-leafed vines due to the larger diameter
- UV stabilised to provide an estimated life of 5 years (depending on site conditions)
- Flared rim to minimise stem abrasion
- Two holes near the top of the shelter to accommodate fixing mechanism
Tubex Ecovine
The Tubex Ecovine offers an economical solution to vine growth enhancement and protection, and is one of the most popular Tubex vine shelters. Providing protection against animal browsing, accidental herbicide drift and mechanical weeding, the twin-wall tubular construction offers an improved growing environment, resulting in stronger early growth, higher survival rates and a stronger leader with fewer side shoots.
Often reused, Tubex Ecovines are UV stabilised for up to three years of life, although this does depend on site conditions.
Available in heights of 60cm and 75cm, with a diameter of 71-86mm.
Key features:
- Provides a solid barrier for complete protection against animals, herbicide and maintenance operations
- Suitable for most types of vines and site conditions
- Economy solution for larger plantation projects
- UV stabilised to provide an estimated life of 3 years (depending on site conditions)
- Flared rim to minimise stem abrasion
Tubex Vinewrap
Tubex Vinewraps, with their split tubular twin-wall construction, offer protection against rabbits, herbicide and mechanical damage. A lower cost option that will protect vines for a single season, they improve establishment and early growth of the vine.
The twin-walled shelter is split vertically, producing a natural overlap to allow for it to wrap around a small vine plant. The biggest advantage of the Vinewrap is that it can be quickly removed at any time to aid inspection, pruning and bud rubbing.
Available with a height of 60cm with a diameter of 75mm to 90mm.
Key features:
- Protects against rabbits, herbicide and mechanical damage
- Economy option suitable for protection for a single season
- Easy to install wrap-around design
- Durable twin-wall construction for the best possible strength-to-weight ratio
- UV stabilised to provide an estimated life of up to 2 years (depending on site conditions)
