Windproof Fencing: Are Hurdles the Solution?

clock-circular-outline Created with Sketch. Dec 10, 2024

If you've ever had any kind of fencing on your property you've probably been there: waking up after a storm or high winds to find posts and panels strewn across your back garden. Investing in robust fencing can be very expensive, and the weakness of traditional wooden fencing is that no matter how robust, the panels will always be vulnerable to high winds.

This is where hazel and willow hurdles can be a great alternative due to their natural wind resistance. One of the standout features of hazel and willow hurdles is their semi-permeable structure. Unlike solid fences that can be toppled by strong winds, hurdles allow air to pass through, reducing the pressure and strain on the fence. This design diffuses wind energy, making it an effective barrier in windy areas.

Both hazel and willow are naturally durable materials. Hazel Hurdles are known for their sturdiness, hazel hurdles can last up to 10 years with proper care. The thicker stems make them especially resilient against wind and weather.

Willow Hurdles, while slightly more flexible than hazel, willow hurdles are also highly durable and can withstand the elements with regular maintenance. It's important to consider the differing types of willow hurdle when looking at your options.

A standard willow hurdle is a great choice as it allows the maximum about of wind through but a bunched weave or framed hurdle also solid choices, being studier than the standard counterpart.

As well as being a great windbreak, hurdles can also be the aesthetic choice. Hazel and willow hurdles blend seamlessly into gardens and outdoor spaces. Their organic appearance complements natural surroundings, making them ideal for cottage gardens, wildlife areas, and rural settings.

Overall, hurdles are a great alternative choice for wind resistant fencing, particularly when installed correctly. With Woven Wood, you can be assured of quality so why not consider our hurdles for you fencing needs in the wake of the next storm.
