Viticulture & Agriculture:
Two of the most important attributes of materials used in agriculture and primary industries are durability and safety.
Where wood rots, splinters, cracks, leaches chemicals and gets eaten by termites, APR products do not. Where metal rusts, bends, conducts electricity, gets heated dangerously by the sun and has sharp edges, APR’s recycled plastic products do not. Where competing plastic products become brittle and snap, APR’s wood plastic composite products do not.
Plus, all of these products require precious natural resources to make and contribute to landfill when they’re no longer usable.
APR’s recycled plastic products are stronger, safer and more durable. And because of this, they’re also more cost effective in applications such as vineyards and farming.
- Vineyard posts
- Posts, stakes and bollards
- Traditional and electrified fencing
- Pallets and signposts
- Walkways, bridges and 4x4 tracks
- Railway sleepers and decking
- Retaining walls
- Plastic lumber
APR poles are also:
- Easily stapled.
- Easily handled without protective clothing.
- Rigid yet flexible and certainly not brittle, so they don't snap under stress from mechanical harvesters.
- Long lasting.
- Hollow poles are lighter and easier to carry and drive into the ground.
- Made to length, so there’s no wastage.

Case study:
Fosters
A vineyard will break 5 – 8% of its wooden poles with every harvest, and within 15 – 20 years all poles will have been replaced. Because APR posts feature the perfect blend of flexibility and durability, they will last decade after decade, with low post-harvest maintenance required. And they’re not treated with creosote or chromium arsenates – something many people feel sits uneasily with the "clean and green" vineyard image.
