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':    £40

        6'     "       4':    £50

        6'     "      5':     £64

        6'     "      6':     £84

        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 £28 a square yard.

 

 

   

 

 

 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. The tenons are shaped with an adze to ensure a clean line and a smooth finish.

 A typical 30" high paling fence would cost from £55 per yard run erected. Erection costs

will vary depending on site conditions.

A cheaper alternative would be to use sawn posts and rails with the same cleft palings.

 

 

   

Post and rail fencing

Wood cleft along the grain is both stronger and more durable than sawn material.

Combined with the durability of oak or sweet chestnut you can have an attractive,

robust fence at little cost to the environment.

From £45 per yard run for a three rail fence. Again, erection costs will vary

according to site conditions

 

 

 

 

 

Coppice Products

(faggots, pea sticks and bean poles, straw bale stakes, morris-dancing staves, tent pegs etc.)

 

     Pea sticks and bean poles

          Sourced from the coppice restoration project at Westonbirt Arboretum. 

          These are 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.

          Bean poles (approx 7'long): 75p each, usually bundled in 10s.

          Pea sticks (approx 5'-6'high):  75p each, usually bundled in 10s.

 

         National Beanpole Week  2011

         A national event promoting the use of locally sourced woodland products in the garden. Help support your local woodsman and woman,

         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 . Beanpole week has now gone (until 2012!) but you can still get hold of poles and sticks as above.

          Our main event will be at the Silk Wood Fair at Westonbirt Arboretum, over the weekend of the May Day Bank Holiday.

 

        Straw bale building stakes

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

         A guide prices is 60p for 3' and 1m stakes, 85p for 4' stakes.

 

      Faggots

     These can be made to order for a wide range of applications, from firing bread ovens to consolidating river banks!  Poa.

 

      Tent pegs

        Cleft from small ash poles and shaped either with a stock-knife or on the shaving horse, these are the best wooden tent pegs you can buy.

        Don't be tempted by cheaper, sawn, imitations.

        7":  50p each

        9":  60p each

        12":  80p each

        15":  £1.10 each

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!

        £140 a full load.

        £75 a half 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 locally 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.
