Hurdle Fencing FAQs

What are willow and hazel hurdles?

Hazel hurdles and willow hurdles are perfect for anyone wanting practical, natural-looking garden fence panels. These hurdles require minimal maintenance and will look great for years to come. The way in which the branches have been woven means that air diffuses through the hurdle fencing instead of just being blocked. This makes the fence panels ideal for exposed areas, whereas other fences may be blown over in strong winds.

What is the difference between willow and hazel hurdles?

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 hurdles are larger, appearing more like 'branches' of a tree, generally, from 1 to 2 cm thick giving a more sturdy and less delicate feel to your fencing.

What types of hazel hurdles are there?

All of the hazel hurdles are handwoven and skillfully crafted, meaning each panel has a unique characteristic. Although every product is manufactured to the same high standards and examined for uniformity, no two panels are exactly the same. We offer different types of hazel hurdles that display unique characteristics.

- Split hazel is typically stronger as it contains larger diameter rods split in half, revealing distinctive wood grain that weathers over time. The contrast between the bark and the smooth inner wood in the weave makes for a striking fence. Behind every carefully crafted hurdle is a story that is told through the craftsmanship of the piece.

- Birchwood capped provides a more effective windbreak for plants and vegetation due to its smaller diameter rods woven throughout the sails. In addition, its unique capped finish gives it a distinct look that no other hurdle can match.

All of these types can be used as freestanding fencing or attached to existing structures.

What is the history behind hurdles?

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, hazel and willow hurdles 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.
