Due to the very nature of willow and hazel, hurdles can vary slightly in size and colors. This however
adds to the charm and natural feel you get once the hurdles have been erected, below are some
guidelines to fixing the fences. These are just guidelines, as each situation requires a slightly different
approach, due to location or the general terrain. The more secure the hurdles are the longer the
lifespan.
1. Depending on the size of the hurdles, we recommend the use of 2/3 inch treated round stakes
as your posts for different sizes accordingly, i.e. an 8ft stake for a 6 ft/5 ft hurdle and a 6ft
stake for a 4 ft/3 ft hurdle.
2. Depending on the soil, these stakes if driven in should be fine, but if the ground is very soft we
recommend the use of post crete (a quick setting cement mix for posts). This can be found at
most builder’s merchants.
3. Once the first post is in position, place the first hurdle next to it to find the required position for
the next post, keeping them straight at all times.
4. Initially you can drill through the first hazel upright and screw into the post top, middle and
bottom. This can also be done at the next post. If the panels are slightly smaller the use of tree
ties at the four corners should be sufficient, and can also be used in conjunction when fixing
with screws.
5. Lastly we recommend a piece of wood baton usually 1” x 2”, to act as a brace between the two
posts, either just one for smaller hurdles or two at the top and bottom for the larger hurdles.
The hurdles can then be adjusted slightly in height and fixed using a pre drilled hole and screw
through the hazel uprights. This can also prevent the hurdle from sagging.
For maintenance, regular cleaning washing with a garden hose and application of a coat of outdoor
wood sealer or boiled linseed oil would help preserve the panel. If you need further help please call 1-
