FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of each panel?
Each panel measures approximately 1.8 meters (6 feet) in width and 1.2 meters (4 feet) in height.
Are the fence panels treated for weather resistance?
The panels are made from natural hazel wood and are designed for outdoor use. While durable, they are not pre-treated with specific weatherproofing chemicals. Applying a garden wood sealant is recommended for extended longevity and to maintain appearance.
Can these panels be used as security fencing?
These panels are primarily designed for decorative screening and adding privacy. They are not intended as high-security fencing and may not provide sufficient deterrence against determined intrusion.
How should I install these panels to ensure they stand upright?
For best stability, we recommend installing sturdy fence posts at regular intervals and securing the hazel hurdles to these posts. Alternatively, they can be sunk directly into firm ground, but posts offer greater resistance to wind and movement.
What is the expected lifespan of these hazel hurdle panels?
With proper installation and optional annual treatment with a wood preserver, these natural hazel panels can last for several years. The lifespan will vary depending on environmental conditions and maintenance.
Can I cut or alter the panels to fit specific spaces?
While it is possible to trim the panels, altering the natural woven structure may compromise their integrity and appearance. It is best to use them at their full size or purchase panels of a different dimension if required.
Troubleshooting
Panel seems unstable after installation
Ensure the panel is adequately secured to posts or sunk sufficiently into firm ground. Consider adding extra support or fixings if necessary, especially in exposed locations.
Wood shows signs of weathering or fading
This is a natural characteristic of wood. To restore appearance and extend life, apply a garden-appropriate wood sealant or preserver. Ensure the product is safe for garden use.
Unevenness in panel structure
The natural hazel wood is intentionally flexible to create a rustic look. Minor variations are normal. If significant gaps appear, they may be filled with smaller natural materials or adjusted during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Choose Location: Select the desired location for your fence panels.
- Prepare Ground: Ensure the ground is relatively level and firm.
- Install Posts (Recommended): For maximum stability, especially in windy conditions or on uneven ground, it is recommended to install sturdy fence posts (not included) at appropriate intervals.
- Position Panels: Place the hazel hurdle panels between the posts or directly into the ground if the soil is firm.
- Secure Panels: Use appropriate fixings such as strong ties, wire, or screws (depending on your chosen posts) to securely attach the panels to the posts. If placing directly into the ground, ensure they are sunk sufficiently for stability.
Compatibility:
These panels are designed for outdoor garden use and are compatible with most standard garden fencing accessories and posts. They are best suited for use as decorative screening or low-level fencing.
Care:
- Natural Material: As with all natural wood products, the hazel hurdles will weather over time. This is a natural process and contributes to their rustic charm.
- Treatment (Optional): To extend the lifespan and maintain the appearance, you can apply a garden-appropriate wood sealant or preserver annually. Ensure the product is suitable for direct contact with plants if applicable.
- Cleaning: Clean with a stiff brush to remove loose debris. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely.
