HURDLES

The willow hurdle requires skilled craftsmanship to make, with strong fibres twisted around sturdy rods. Willow is designed to complement a natural landscape, with maximum durability and beauty. Hazel and willow are eco-friendly because cuttings are only taken from new trees. Traditional farmers have historically used willow and hurdle as the trees grow back next year. The branches used for Hazel are thicker at approximately 2-3cm. Willow branches in contrast, are 1cm thick. Willow is slightly cheaper for that reason; yet quality is not sacrificed.
