• How do you properly secure willow hurdles?

  To ensure hurdle fencing is secured safely, we recommend installing a wooden fence post at either end of each panel. These should be set in place with post mix. After the panel is inserted between the two posts, we recommend securing the panel to the posts using galvanised wire. Thread the wire through the panel and around the fence posts and use a hammer to gently tack it into place firmly. 

  To make the process easier, we offer hurdle installation kits so you don't have to faff around looking for the ideal fixings. Just ensure you choose the correct size for the height of your fence panels.
