Reviews
Good medium term screening
"Arrived very promptly and now in position, giving us privacy while a beech hedge grows. Very happy with them but other buyers might find it useful to know that they are solidly made and therefore quite heavy to move around. Ours were generously sized. Not completely opaque so let a bit of light through."
— Stephen H. (5/5)
Hurdles presented no hurdle at all
"Used these to provide screening between us and our next-door neighbour prior to planting a yew hedge which will take a couple of years to establish and provide adequate privacy. Quite pleased with these. Had to knock down and compress the weave to reduce the horizontal gaping making them as dense as possible but did the job easily and my neighbour seems pleased with the screening these hurdles provide. Thank you Woven Wood"

Hazel Hurdles
"Great quality and quick delivery, communication was excellent with Hazel at Woven Wood, she responded to my questions very quickly. Hurdles look great. Highly recommend them."
Hazel hurdles are a type of traditional, hand-woven fence panel made from coppiced hazel branches. They are made by weaving flexible hazel rods around upright stakes, creating a sturdy and eco-friendly barrier that allows wind to pass through. These rustic panels are have been created using the same techniques for thousands of years, initially used for animal enclosures, they now provide people with a stylish alternative to traditional garden fencing, and can also be used as a windbreak or screening.
The lifespan of hazel hurdles depends on the location and exposure to the elements. In most UK gardens, a well-installed hazel hurdle fence can last many years. Sheltered locations generally see the longest lifespan, while exposed coastal or very wet locations may experience faster weathering. Coppiced hazel naturally contains oils that help resist decay.
Our hazel hurdles are skilfully handwoven, giving each panel its own unique charm and character. While we maintain consistent high standards and thoroughly inspect each product, no two panels are exactly alike. We offer a variety of hazel hurdle options that highlight their distinct and individual features.
Standard Premium hurdles are your vanilla hurdle, made with care and craftsmanship by artisans. Made with thick sustainably sourced hazel rods, they are sure to add durable rustic charm to any space.
Capped hurdles are an ideal solution for protecting plants and vegetation from harsh winds, as they are woven with smaller diameter rods that create a more effective windbreak. What's more, their distinctive capped finish sets them apart from any other type of hurdle, giving them a unique and attractive appearance.
Top-Bar Capped hurdles are similar to the capped except with a hurdle rod secured to the top of the hurdle for a smoother and more defined finish.
Framed hurdles are perfect for a more modern and sturdy appearance. The weave is fitted into a sturdy wooden frame and they make a great feature in any garden.
Our hurdles are available in multiple heights, 2ft, 3ft, 4ft, 5ft and 6ft. As standard they come in a 6ft width but we also offer shorter widths for some heights, check the product page for more details.
If you can't find the perfect fit it's easy for you to cut them to the right size (you have the weaver's permission).
Height: easily cut the vertical rods to size, then simply remove the excess horizontal rod.
Width: this requires more care - the cut ends will need to be secured with wire or nails to prevent them the weaving coming undone. We recommend to overlap hurdles rather than try and shorten them in this way.
Hazel and willow hurdles have a rich history as the oldest form of fencing in Britain, dating back over 5000 years to Neolithic times. Today, these environmentally friendly and durable fences are not only perfect for traditional English country gardens but also provide a unique and natural look for contemporary urban spaces.
Coppicing is a traditional and sustainable method of woodland management at least as old as hazel hurdles themselves. It involved harvesting hazel or willow by cutting it back almost to the stump - and then harvesting the resulting vigorous shoots of growth every few years. All Woven Wood's hurdles are made from hazel harvested in this way.
If you live in an area with high winds and have had issues with your paneled fencing blowing over, installing fence panels with gaps such as our willow and hazel hurdles can be a wise choice. The gaps in the weave allow wind to pass through, reducing the pressure and preventing damage.
Willow and hazel are versatile options for garden screening, providing natural beauty and privacy. These materials can be woven together to create attractive screens that blend well with various garden styles. Willow and hazel screens add charm while allowing air and light to filter through. Use them to partition areas, block views, or create cosy corners in your outdoor space.
In most situations, yes. Because hazel hurdles allow wind to pass through the weave, they place less strain on posts than solid fence panels. Many installations simply use driven timber posts without concrete, although ground conditions and fence height should always be considered.
Yes. Unlike solid fence panels, the woven construction allows air to pass through the hurdle, reducing wind resistance. This makes hazel hurdles an excellent choice for exposed gardens where traditional fence panels may be more vulnerable to storm damage.
