Hazel Classic Fencing Panel

Introducing our Hazel Wood Fencing Panels

Hazel wood fencing, also known as hazel hurdle fencing, is a type of traditional fencing made from woven hazel branches. It has been used for centuries in various regions, particularly in Europe, for its natural aesthetic appeal and durability.

Carefully woven from sturdy hazel branches, these panels provide a natural and rustic aesthetic to enhance any outdoor space. Built to last, our fencing panels offer durability and resistance to the elements, making them perfect for gardens, rural areas, and countryside settings.

Our Hazel Classic Fencing Panels are a natural, handmade product, crafted to bring a rustic charm to your garden. Because they are made from natural hazel, each panel will have its own unique finish — no two are exactly alike.

These panels are not completely solid, meaning there will be small gaps between the hazel rods. This creates an airy, organic look but also means they may not be the best choice if you need a full privacy screen. However, when placed against a wall, fence, or thick hedging, they can effectively provide privacy while adding a warm, natural aesthetic.

Upgrade your fencing with the elegance and durability of hazel wood today.

Here are some key characteristics and aspects of hazel wood fencing:

1. Material: Hazel wood is derived from the hazel tree (Corylus spp.), which is a deciduous tree native to Europe and parts of Asia. The branches are flexible and relatively straight, making them suitable for weaving.

2. Construction: Hazel wood fencing is typically constructed by weaving the hazel branches together horizontally between vertical posts. The branches are interwoven in a lattice pattern to create a sturdy and attractive fence panel.

3. Natural and Rustic Appearance: One of the primary attractions of hazel wood fencing is its natural and rustic appearance. The woven branches give it a traditional and organic look that blends well with natural surroundings, making it popular for gardens, rural areas, and countryside settings.

4. Durability: Hazel wood is known for its durability and strength. When properly maintained, hazel wood fencing can last for many years. The woven structure provides good resistance against wind, and the hazel branches, being a hardwood, are naturally resistant to rot and decay.

5. Privacy and Security: While hazel wood fencing does provide some degree of privacy, it is not completely solid. Gaps between the woven branches allow some visibility through the fence. However, it can still act as a deterrent and provide a level of security, particularly when combined with vegetation or other fencing materials.

6. Eco-Friendly: Hazel wood fencing is considered eco-friendly because it is made from a renewable resource. Hazel trees are fast-growing and can be coppiced (cut close to the ground) on a regular basis, allowing the trees to regrow and produce more branches for fencing.

7. Versatility: Hazel wood fencing can be used in various applications, including garden boundaries, livestock enclosures, decorative partitions, and even as panels for wattle-and-daub construction. It can be customized to different heights and lengths, depending on the specific requirements.

8. Maintenance: To ensure the longevity of hazel wood fencing, regular maintenance is recommended. This includes inspecting for any damaged or broken branches and replacing them promptly. Applying a protective coating, such as linseed oil or wood preservative, can help enhance the fence's resistance to weathering.

Overall, hazel wood fencing offers a charming and durable option for those seeking a natural and rustic fencing solution. Its timeless appeal, eco-friendliness, and ability to blend with the environment make it a popular choice for both practical and decorative purposes.
