Florida Agricultural Stakes proudly stands as the trailblazing entity that first introduced FRP Stakes tailored to endure the rigorous conditions of agricultural fields. Our FRP Stakes undergo meticulous engineering to outperform in the challenging environments of vine crops. For crops cultivated on the vine, our FRP Stake stands unparalleled in both performance and durability.
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is a composite material that combines a polymer matrix with reinforced fibers, typically glass fibers in the case of fiberglass. The polymer used is a polyester thermosetting plastic. FRPs find widespread application in industries such as aerospace, automotive, marine, construction, and even in the manufacturing of ballistic armor.
At our company, we have harnessed the power of FRP and applied it to the development of an Agricultural Stake that outperforms traditional wooden stakes in terms of longevity. Our revolutionary “Everlast FRP Stake,” protected by our patent, has been meticulously engineered to meet the specific demands of crops cultivated on twine systems. It incorporates a specially formulated resin grit coating, a UV-resistant additive, and a fire-retardant additive.
By leveraging these advanced features, our stakes offer unparalleled durability and resilience, outlasting their wooden counterparts by years. We take pride in delivering stakes that are truly the epitome of excellence in the industry.
Our FRP stakes are equipped with a fire-retardant additive, enabling them to withstand the rigorous commercial burning process following harvesting. Despite the intense heat generated by torches, our stakes are designed to endure these extreme temperatures without melting or losing their original shape or strength.
In order to effectively support the twine that keeps plants standing erect, the grit size in our coating is carefully selected. Through extensive testing, we have determined that our grit size surpasses the requirements for securely holding the stake twine even under full production loads.
To ensure an exceptionally long field life cycle, our FRP stakes are enhanced with a UV protection additive. This additive effectively shields the stakes from the harmful effects of UV radiation, maximizing their durability and longevity in agricultural settings. By prioritizing the “Cost vs Benefit” ratio, we strive to provide commercial growers with stakes that deliver optimal value and longevity for their investment.
