Yes, I'm sure the pipes can hold the tension. I have found several vineyards in Sonoma that also use this size as they have 1/4" thick walls. But, I'm...
We use and have used for 25 years Railroad Ties set in cement at an angle, never had one rot yet, but the John Deere 4020 will knock them over. We are planting...

Jacob, You should have asked your question on the "Enologists" list not on this list. The purpose of cold stabilization is to remove the potassium bitartrate...
The pipe end posts that I saw used in Napa were angled back at about 30 degrees and a earth anchor tie was used to keep the post in tension which also keeps...

Do the math, and I think you will find that the reactions (forces) at the end posts are independent of row length -- I build them the same way whether the row...
John is correct that the force on the end structure is not dependent on row length, but rather gravitational forces on the longest span between posts. Thus...
