FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this installation kit?

The kit provides the necessary posts and guidance for installing screening hurdle panels, creating natural borders or privacy screens in outdoor spaces.

Is the wood treated for outdoor use?

Yes, the posts are made from heavy-duty, pressure-treated wood, designed for strength and longevity in outdoor environments.

Can I use this kit for regular fence panels, not just hurdles?

This kit is specifically designed for hurdle panels. While it provides robust posts, you may need to consider additional hardware or modifications for other types of fence panels.

How deep should I bury the posts?

A general guideline is to bury approximately one-third of the post's total length into the ground for stable support.

Does the kit include the actual hurdle panels?

No, this is an installation kit that includes the posts. The hurdle panels themselves are sold separately.

What is the recommended spacing between posts?

The spacing depends on the width of the hurdle panel you are installing. Ensure the posts are spaced appropriately to securely hold the panel.

Can I paint or stain these posts?

Yes, you can paint or stain the posts with products suitable for treated wood to enhance their appearance or provide additional protection, though it's not mandatory.

Troubleshooting

Post feels unstable after installation.

Ensure the hole was dug deep enough and the soil is firmly compacted around the base of the post. If necessary, dig a wider base or use additional soil/gravel for better support.

Difficulty attaching hurdle panel to posts.

Verify that the posts are parallel and at the correct distance apart for the panel. Ensure you are using appropriate screws or fasteners for wood installation.

Wood shows signs of weathering or fading.

While pressure-treated wood is durable, applying a clear wood preservative or a stain matching your desired aesthetic can refresh the appearance and add an extra layer of protection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust and durable construction ensures longevity.
  • Creates a natural and attractive rustic appearance.
  • Easy to use for setting up or extending hurdle panels.
  • Pressure-treated wood offers good resistance to the elements.
  • Versatile for various screening and fencing needs.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for hurdle panels; may need modifications for other fence types.
  • Requires basic DIY skills for installation.
  • Brown color may not suit all garden color schemes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose the desired location for your hurdle panel.
  2. Dig a hole deep enough to securely anchor the post (typically one-third of the post's length).
  3. Place the post in the hole and backfill with soil, compacting firmly for stability.
  4. Repeat for the second post, ensuring they are level and at the desired width for your hurdle panel.
  5. Attach the hurdle panel to the posts using appropriate fixings (not included).

Compatibility:

This kit is optimized for use with Primrose screening hurdles, hazel hurdles, and willow hurdles. While versatile, it is best suited for panels designed to be mounted between two posts. For other types of fencing or panels, ensure compatibility with post dimensions and consider additional mounting hardware.

Care:

To maintain the longevity of the pressure-treated wood, inspect the posts periodically for any signs of wear. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. If desired, the wood can be treated with a suitable wood preservative or stain to further enhance its durability and appearance, though this is not strictly necessary due to the pressure-treatment.
