Full details
The Perry Vine Eyes to Drive are designed for gardeners and DIY enthusiasts needing reliable anchor points for wire rope installations in brick walls and posts. Their key benefit is the simple hammer-driven installation and durable, zinc-plated mild steel construction for corrosion resistance. A minor caveat is that they are best suited for light to medium-duty applications rather than heavy structural support. This product offers a pack of 10, 75mm (3") vine eyes, providing a straightforward solution for supporting climbing plants, trellises, and garden fencing.

What is the size of these vine eyes?

Can I install these on a plasterboard wall?

Troubleshooting
Vine eye is not secure after hammering.
Ensure the surface is solid and suitable for impact. Try a different spot or use a larger hammer with more force, ensuring the vine eye is driven in fully.
Difficulty threading wire rope through the hole.
Check the hole for any debris or obstructions. Slightly widen the hole with a drill bit if necessary (use appropriate safety gear). Ensure the wire rope is not frayed.
Rust appearing on the vine eye.
Light surface rust can be gently brushed off and a protective coating applied. Significant rust may indicate the zinc plating has been compromised, and the vine eye may need replacement for critical applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select the desired location on a solid surface, such as a brick wall or wooden post.

Care:
