Redwood Grape Stakes
Redwood Grape Stakes
For the better part of the last century, grape growers turned to Redwood and Cedar to serve a vital role in the life of their crops. While most Western softwoods tend to crumble if not sealed or treated — especially given Mother Nature’s last years of constant ire — both Cedar and Redwood can stand up to nature’s varied conditions untreated for decades. It is for this reason that grape growers use these resilient softwoods to support their grapevines. These grape stakes stood tall and held aloft their charges for decades through California’s weather and droughts. Battered by rain and wind, seeing temperatures spiking to 120 and dropping below freezing, the Redwood found itself marked and worn by the weather. All this time and environmental pressure gave the wood a truly rustic look. Now retired from their work in agriculture, these old-growth Redwood grape stakes are ready for fun and creative outdoor projects that need Redwood’s resistance to the harsh outdoors.
Grape stakes are sold “as is” and are in bundles of 50; bundles are sorted for 48″+ and 72″+.
Due to the slight chemical smell, CRL had the wood tested to make sure it was clear of pesticides and other chemicals, which it was; but because of the odor, we would not suggest using the wood for interior projects.
