Traditional Hazel and Willow Hurdles fencing
Hazel and Willow hurdles are perhaps the oldest form of fencing in Britain, dating back as far as Neolithic times 5000 years ago.
Robust, beautiful and eco-friendly, they are not only ideal for the traditional English Country Garden, but also provide gardeners in the 21st Century with the
opportunity to create a unique, natural look for modern urban spaces.What is the difference between Willow and Hazel?
The main difference is the size of branches or 'wands' used. Willow hurdles are woven from younger and therefore thinner branches – the horizontals are up
to 1 cm in diameter. Hazel horizontals are larger, appearing more like 'branches' of a tree, generally from 1 to 2cm thick giving a more sturdy and less delicate
feel to your fencing.
