Traditional Woven Split Hazel Hurdle Fencing Panels

Enhance your garden privacy with hand-crafted split hazel hurdle fencing panels. Cleft lengthways from sustainably coppiced hazel rods, these traditional hurdles feature a flatter, tighter weave than standard round-rod panels. The result is a denser visual barrier with fewer light gaps, exceptional wind diffusion, and a refined, textured finish that complements both modern landscape designs and traditional cottage grounds.

Whether enclosing a private courtyard, screening utility areas, or creating a continuous boundary, split hazel provides an eco-friendly, chemical-free alternative to mass-manufactured fence panels.

Key Benefits of Split Hazel Hurdles

• Denser Weave for Maximum Privacy: Splitting the hazel rods down the grain allows the flat faces of the timber to overlap closely. This significantly minimizes gaps between rods compared to round hurdles, creating an effective privacy screen.

• Distinctive Textured Grain: The splitting process exposes the pale, smooth inner grain alongside the dark, textured outer bark. This creates a natural two-tone contrast across the face of the panel that adds organic depth to garden borders.

• Natural Windbreak Protection: Unlike solid featheredge panels that catch high winds and strain fence posts, the tightly woven split rods gently filter and baffle gusts. This reduces wind speed and garden turbulence while safeguarding fragile plants.

• 100% Sustainable & Chemical-Free: Handcrafted using responsibly managed British coppice timber. Naturally durable and rich in wood tannins, split hazel requires zero pressure treatments, creosote, or chemical preservatives.
