Concrete poles type Spinazzè

Concrete poles for covering

Prestressed concrete poles are used as support poles in pear and apple orchards. However, Spinazzè concrete posts are also widely used as concrete posts in covering structures. Covering such as hail nets in pear and apple orchards. Concrete poles also serve as the structure's backbone in film canopies for cherries, raspberries, redcurrants and apricots. The Powerflex Foil System is therefore often installed using Spinazzè concrete poles. More and more often, we see the concrete post in the fencing of meadows, but also in orchards and yards.

Strong concrete poles

The unique thing about Spinazzè concrete poles are the ingredients. The raw materials come from the Piave River. The gravel and sand have unique properties that form a good basis for the poles. The cement that is used is a secret family recipe that makes the strength of the poles unparalleled. The strength of the concrete poles depends on the number of wires in the concrete post. These threads are prestressed. These threads provide the flexibility in the concrete post. Extra wires that are pulled can add a lot of strength to the post. This can be up to 30 percent more force.
