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 £26 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.
From £45 per yard run erected.
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 £40 per yard run erected
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 2010.
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 2011!) but you can still get hold of poles and sticks as above.
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.
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.

9": 60p each
12": 80p each
15": £1.10 each
18": £1.50 each

£7.50 for a bundle of 10
Hedgelaying:
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.
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.
