NZ Made Award-Winning, Solid, Durable, Environmentally Friendly Posts for Vineyard Use.
Made from 100% recycled waste plastics diverted from national landfill mixed with UV Carbon Black results in a strong, workable, long-lasting post that is proving highly durable to mechanical harvest, heavy canopies, tractor knocks and strong winds.
Being 100% recyclable again should they ever break solves all CCA treated timber “end of life” disposal issues, while the added advantage of certified Bio Gro Organic status helps open up new product lines and markets.
With the ability to recycle vineyard and winery waste plastics to turn back into vineyard posts, and then provide measurable statistics on your total waste diversion from landfill, Future Post offers a very appealing sustainability story to add to your branding for both the eco-conscious grower and consumer.

Less Missed Fruit During Mechanical Harvest
Growers have reported noticing fruit located after / in the shadow of their Future Posts being picked cleaner than fruit growing next to other more rigid post options which can be left behind.
High Density = High Grip Retention
Posts do not dry out, split or crack and hold onto your clips and attachments.
Good Footing combined with some additional Flex
Proven to help support vineyard rows against high winds.
Install using Post Driver or Vibrating Digger Head
Attach clips, wires and drip line using nails, staples or screws - we can advise if any minor adaptions are required to enhance your individual workability requirements. Posts can also be cut, drilled and bolted. The small amount of flex seen during initial installation is the exact same reason why posts are proving so highly durable to vineyard life.
Full Rounds for Strength & Ease
Round shaped posts offer strength advantages for directional winds, easier installation and easy clip attachment anywhere on the post.
Non-corrosive and No Noise
Against wires/clips, windy sites or coastal regions.
Do not rot, split or crack
No rotting from irrigation or flooding, plus by being impenetrable to moisture, frost, insects and fungi may help reduce sooty moulds and resident insects.
Closing the Loop on Vineyard Waste
Future Post can recycle your vineyard waste plastics including drip line, vine sleeves, containers, drums, packaging and more to create a fully circular story!
Measurable Waste Diversion
We can provide you with measurable statistics on your total waste diversion from landfill by weight of your recycling processed and recycled post use, helping you achieve your sustainability goals.
"It is a huge advantage in both time and cost savings not having to walk every row and push/pull every single post after harvest in our Future Post block.
The clip retention is proving excellent too. I am very happy with our Future Posts to date and am using them for replacements in the rest of the vineyard as well, knowing they are a one-off replacement and also fully recyclable if ever required.
We are also recycling our old vine sleeves, pipes and containers back into posts which is great for sustainability measures."
