Fencing
(hurdles, in-situ weaves, paling and post and rail)
Wattle hurdles
These woven hurdles make excellent garden screens and windbreaks. Made from
a mixture of cleft and round hazel rods,
they look superb in cottage-style gardens
or rustic settings.
6' long by 3': £36
6' " 4': £46
6' " 5': £60
6' " 6': £78
Other sizes can be made to order; price on application.
Woven fences
These can be built in-situ where sweeping curves and changes of
height are more appropriate than individual panels.
Each fence has to be priced individually, but, as a guide, they
start at £22.50 a square yard.
Gate hurdles (ash, oak, or sweet chestnut)
Gate hurdles were once the ubiquitous
movable fence down on the farm; the precursor to
electric fencing, though far more attractive! I make them from ash, oak, or sweet
chestnut (as available) and cleave the wood down the grain for strength. Whether
penning sheep, dividing up the garden or marking a boundary, these hurdles will grace
any setting.
6' long by 3' (5 bar): £40
6' " 4' (6 bar): £45
Also popular with gardeners are
small hurdles for supporting straggling plants and for fencing
of borders:
2' long by 1' (3 bar): £15
Cleft oak paling fences
Cleft from straight-grained, knot-free oak, these robust and durable fences will
age gracefully in a way that modern sawn and treated softwoods simply cannot
match.
£45 per yard run erected.
Post and rail fencing
Coppice Products

National Beanpole Week 2010.
A national event promoting the use of locally sourced woodland products in the garden. Help support your local woodsman (and woman, Ruth!),
encourage the active management of local woods and reduce the amount of foreign imports (and shipping miles). For details of events across the

Firewood
We supply split firewood logs from the coppice restoration project at
Westonbirt Arboretum. Usually a mixture of oak, beech and ash
with a few other species for luck. This comes as a Tipper load (80cu ft)
or half load which you get to stack - it warms you up! £120 a full load.
Like all firewood, the longer you can store it, the better it will burn.
(See under 'Good Advice' for more information on burning wood).
Charcoal
We burn charcoal in the Arboretum, using thinnings and branchwood from the coppice
restoration project, so it is both local and sustainably sourced This is then sold from our stall
at Stroud Farmers Market and other local outlets, including the Arboretum Plant Centre.
Please contact us directly for wholesale prices if you are interested in being a stockist.
