Fruit Protection Systems

Install faster, more durable fruit protection structures with our wide range of wire joining, tensioning and anchoring systems.

Smarter Solutions for Installing and Maintaining Fruit Protection 

In a changing climate, fruit growers face increasing pressure to shield crops from hail, heavy rain, strong winds and frost. That’s why fruit protection systems are no longer a luxury, they’re essential. At Gripple, we provide smart, reliable anchoring and support solutions that make installing netting systems easier, stronger, and quicker to maintain.

Whether you’re retrofitting netting over vineyards or installing flat canopy protection across orchards, our kits deliver high performance with minimal labor. Our anchoring and bracing systems secure key structural posts, ensuring they remain stable under the weight of netting and during adverse weather. For flat net systems, our GP90 wire joiners allow you to create strong overhead catenary grids with speed and precision.

Gripple products are designed to be installed with minimal tools or training, allowing for rapid deployment and straightforward maintenance, even after the most extreme weather conditions. From vineyards to berry farms, we’re proud to support growers with tested, trusted systems built to last.

Manufactured in the US and the UK and trusted by fruit growers on a global scale, let Gripple help protect what you grow efficiently, effectively, and with total peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Gripple products are used to anchor and brace structural posts, and to support wire grids for netting in fruit protection systems. They help stabilize frameworks against wind, snow, and the weight of netting in orchards, vineyards, and other growing environments.

Traditional methods often use helical anchors, turnbuckles, and U-bolts which are time-consuming and require more tools. Gripple’s solutions are faster to install, tool-free, and easier to adjust or re-tension, saving time and labor on site.

Yes. Our anchoring and bracing kits can be installed on existing posts or trellising frameworks, making them ideal for both new installations and retrofit applications.

Gripple fruit protection solutions are suitable for vineyards, orchards, and soft fruit farms — essentially any crop requiring overhead netting or weather protection.

No specialist tools are required. Gripple systems are designed for simple, intuitive installation, allowing even temporary workers to install them efficiently with minimal training.

Absolutely. Our systems are ideal for quick repairs. The wire joiners can be easily re-tensioned and our anchoring kits retrofitted to stabilize any posts or structures that may have shifted during storms.
