Traditional Hazel and Willow Hurdle fencing
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Willow and Hazel?
Although in many ways they are similar it is important to choose the one most suitable for you. The main difference in these products is the size branches used. Willow hurdles are woven from younger and therefore thinner branches – the horizontals are up to 1 cm in diameter. Hazel are larger, generally from 1 to 2cm thick giving a more sturdy and less delicate feel to your fencing.
Do I need to use preservative?
Not at all - many people prefer to let the hurdles age naturally to a beautiful grey. Alternatively, use any clear commercially- available fence preservative.
Can the Hurdles be cut to change the size?
They can be cut easily to reduce the height by cutting the verticals and removing unrequired horizontals. Width can be reduced by carefully cutting to ensure that the horizontals don’t become unwoven. Alternatively, overlap adjacent hurdles to reduce width.
