Vine Guards
Vine guards are designed to create a ‘mini greenhouse’ effect,
which has been proven to accelerate growth. They also offer protection
from grazing animals and adverse weather conditions and limited protection
from herbicide spraying. They have a durable twin wall construction.
Tubex original
Vine Original are made from UV stabilised polypropylene and are
designed to serve 2 growing seasons. They offer more internal volume than
other vine shelters in the range, which permits internal support and suits
larger leaved varieties of vine. There are 2 holes near the top of the
tube to allow fixing to trellising wires and a flanged rim to prevent
abrasion.
Tubex ecovine
EcoVine are made from a lighter material composition than the Vine
Original as they are designed to serve only one growing season. They have
a narrower diameter range than the Vine Original. The flanged rim is designed
to prevent abrasion.
Snapmax
are made of twin walled fluted plastic 
material with interlockingfastening system, which allows access to the
vine during the growing season for bud rubbing. Optional ventilation holes
can be utilised to give additional airflow through the guard. A self-fastening
top tab allows the guard to be fixed securely to the first trellis wire.
The height of the first wire determines the height of the guard. Dual
slots allow our galvanised vine supports to be threaded through the guard
for extra security. The life of the guard can be extended by reversing
the guard to expose the inner surface to the light. Sold in multiples
of 25, flat packed.
Net Guards
Net Guards offer some protection against
grazing animals. The guards are supplied flat and their cylindrical shape
can be restored by folding over the top and bottom of the guard.
Vine Supports
Vine supports made from heavily galvanised
steel, have a lifespan of around 20 years and thus can be reused for further
plantings. Other sizes are available to order where large quantities are
required.
Ring Clip
Ring Clip, plastic, for
attaching the vine to 
the support.
