Frequently Asked Questions

How stable is the RANKI?

Our trellis system is a sturdy support structure for espaliered fruit trees and climbing plants. The Z-profiles provide optimal support even in loose soil. The tensioned wire is highly durable.

We have been using the RANKI system on all our plots for decades.

Do the posts need to be set in concrete?

The RANKI profiles are driven into the ground at 50 cm intervals, ensuring optimal stability even in loose soil. No ground sleeves are required. In very sandy or stony soil, the posts can also be set in concrete.

What material is the RANKI made of?

Our trellis is made of galvanized steel and powder-coated components. The materials are durable and rust-resistant.

Can I train an espalier tree on it?

Yes, the RANKI is perfect for any type of espalier or climbing plant. It is also suitable for trees such as espalier apples, pears, maples, etc.

How is the trellis erected?

The RANKI profiles are driven into the ground at 50 cm intervals. The first and last element in a row is cross-braced with the adjacent post. The tensioning wires are then tightened evenly.
