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

     Pea sticks and bean poles

          Sourced from the coppice restoration project at Westonbirt Arboretum. 

          These will be available directly from us or from the Plant Centre at Westonbirt -

          admission to the Plant Centre is free, though you have to pay to get into the Arboretum

          itself.  We will be based at the Plant Centre during National Bean Pole Week 17th - 25th April 2010.

          Bean poles (approx 7'long): 65p each, usually bundled in 10s.

          Pea sticks (approx 5'-6'high):  65p each, usually bundled in 10s.

         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

         country, visit www.beanpoles.org.uk

        Straw bale building stakes

    These come in bundles of 10.  We can supply any size, typically 18", 3ft, or 4ft.

         A Guide prices is 60p for 3' and 1m stakes.

         Hedging stakes (5'-6' long, 1"-2" diameter, pointed and squared):

         £6 for a bundle of 10

         Hedging binders (7'-8' long, 1" butt diameter):

         £6.50 for a bundle of 10

        Hedgelaying:

        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.
