GPAK (Gripple Plus Anchor Kits) for Anchoring & Bracing

A common sight in most vineyards or fruit orchards is an end post anchor. A secure anchor post is key to the longevity of the vineyard and to the success of the crop. Poorly installed anchors can not only lead to vulnerable plants, but can also have a severe effect on crop quantity and quality.

Each Gripple Plus Anchor Kit (GPAK) contains a length of heavy galavnised  wire rope, with a pre-formed loop at one end, and a Gripple Tensioner for securing the anchor.  For best results use a double brace format (see  below), which distributes the load evenly on the post.

Anchors can be re-tensioned year-on-year if required with the Gripple Torq Tensioning Tool.

GPAK for Bracing

Secure bracing and straining support is the key to a professional, longlife fence. The GPAK's are ideal for bracing fences too.


The GPAK is the most convenient and fastest method of applying a diagonal brace wire to a H-Post or Box Strainer. Each kit contains a length of wire rope, with a pre-formed loop at one end, and a Gripple Tensioner for securing the brace.
