Gripple Plant Support System - Purple

The main advantage is its ability to create highly tensioned wires easily and quickly without the need for knots, twisting, or special tools, offering a durable and low-maintenance solution for plant support.

It is suitable for a wide range of climbing plants, including edible crops like beans, tomatoes, and cane fruits, as well as ornamental plants such as roses, Jasmine, wisteria, and clematis.

The Gripple Plant Support System can support up to 100kg of load.

No, the Gripples tension easily by hand. While a dedicated Gripple tool can provide extra leverage for higher tensioning, it is not strictly necessary for basic installation.

Yes, the Gripple system uses UV-stabilised nylon and glass fibre reinforced tensioners, which provide excellent resistance to corrosion and rot, making it suitable for outdoor use.

Yes, the nylon trellis wire can be easily cut with sharp scissors or wire rope cutters.

The Gripple system requires minimal maintenance. It is recommended to check the wire tension periodically, especially during the initial setup and plant growth phases.

Ensure the wire is inserted correctly into the Gripple rollers. The wire should only move freely in one direction; if it slips both ways, the wire may be damaged or the Gripple may be faulty. Try re-threading the wire or using a new Gripple.

Confirm the wire is fully inserted. The serrated rollers need to engage properly with the wire. Ensure no debris is obstructing the rollers. If the wire is old or degraded, it might not grip effectively; consider replacing the wire.

Check that both ends of the wire are firmly anchored. Ensure the Gripple tensioners are correctly installed and the wire is pulled taut before the final lock. Re-tension if necessary, ensuring the wire is properly seated within the Gripples.

Nylon wire can stretch, especially under heavy load or in initial use. Re-tension the wire after the first few days or weeks. For extreme loads, consider using a wire rope cutter for precise cuts and ensuring the Gripples are the correct size for the wire gauge.
