FAQs
What is 'coppiced hazel'?
Coppicing is a traditional woodland management process where trees are repeatedly cut back to their base, encouraging new, straight growth. This method provides sustainable harvesting of hazel branches with consistent thickness and flexibility.
How do I customize the size of the panel?
You can carefully adjust the position of the horizontal branches or discreetly weave in/out the vertical elements to achieve your desired height and width. Avoid forcing the hazel, as it may break.
Will the brown color fade?
Yes, like most natural wood products exposed to sunlight and weather, the brown color will gradually weather to a natural silvery-grey over time. Applying a wood stain can help preserve the original color longer.
What is the expected lifespan of the fence panel?
With proper installation and reasonable care, the durable hazel branches and construction ensure dependable performance for many years. The lifespan can be extended with periodic checks and maintenance.
Can this panel be used for privacy?
The premium weave offers a good level of visual screening, providing moderate privacy. It's ideal for creating a softer barrier than solid fencing, enhancing the garden's ambiance.
Do I need special tools for installation?
Basic gardening and DIY tools are usually sufficient. This may include a spade or post driver for posts, a level, a hammer or drill for fixings, and potentially wire cutters or a saw if minor adjustments are needed.
Troubleshooting
Panel appears uneven or warped
This is often due to the natural flexibility of hazel. Allow the panel to settle in place for a few days. If significant warping persists, gently adjust fixings or consider adding subtle bracing.
Fixings are difficult to secure
If the hazel is very dense, you may need to pre-drill small pilot holes before inserting screws or nails. Ensure you are using fixings appropriate for outdoor use and the post material.
Color difference between panels
As a natural product, hazel has inherent color variations. This is normal. If a uniform color is desired, consider staining or treating all panels before or shortly after installation.
Panel feels less sturdy than expected
Ensure the panel is correctly installed and securely attached to sturdy posts. Check that the posts themselves are firmly embedded in the ground. Excessive force during installation can also loosen the weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
