Snapmax™ - Benefits

Improved growth rates - up to 2 or 3 times faster than unprotected vines
Reduced training costs - No string training required, the design of the Snapmax™ encourages
straight stem growth
Provides the ideal microclimate
Water conservation - protected environment reduces moisture lost through transpiration
Reduction of costs as mechanical spraying of the vineyards is feasible without damaging the vines
Deter herbivorous predators
Protect from harsh weather conditions - strong winds, hail, salt damage and sand blasting
Heat insulation - provides an important insulation barrier for the vine protecting it from heat radiation in summer.
Ventilation flaps are positioned above the herbicide spray line, allowing restricted air flow through the guard
Optional Ventilation
Reusable & Reversible - made from durable UV stabilised plastic. To extend life, Snapmax™
should be folded opposite ways each year, ensuring a clean surface on the inside for the
following season - allowing accumulated organic matter, then on the outside
to be washed away by the weather.
