While they are weatherproof, prolonged exposure to harsh marine environments may eventually affect the zinc plating. For such conditions, specialized marine-grade fixings would be more appropriate.

Each pack contains 20 vine eyes.

This specific listing is for 75mm vine eyes. Please check other DIRECT HARDWARE product listings for potential availability of different sizes.
Drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the shank diameter. Ensure the wood is not excessively hard or rotten.
Check that the vine eye is securely installed in solid wood. Ensure the wire is properly fastened to the vine eye and the other anchor points.
While BZP offers good protection, extreme conditions can eventually lead to minor surface rust. This is typically cosmetic and does not significantly impact structural integrity. Clean gently if desired.
Setup: To install, simply screw the vine eye into a pre-drilled pilot hole in a wooden post or wall. Ensure the surface is solid and capable of supporting the tension from the wires. Use a screwdriver or a suitable tool through the eye loop for leverage if needed.
Compatibility: These vine eyes are compatible with most standard garden wires, trellising cords, and thin ropes. They are designed for use in solid wooden structures.
Care: Due to their bright zinc plating, these vine eyes are largely maintenance-free. For optimal longevity, occasional cleaning with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris is recommended. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the plating.
