Chestnut Fencing

Chestnut Fencing

Chestnut fencing is a traditional perimeter fencing product that functional makes use of the wood’s natural strength with aesthetical appeal that only improves with exposure to the elements.

Chestnut fencing is made from cleft chestnut fencing posts gripped at the top and bottom by four straining wires for strength. It can be supplied with two or three rows of wire. With the pales spaced 3" or 4" apart.

This type of product clearly has advantages for emergency or temporary fencing applications; it has also proved to possess outstanding qualities as a permanent perimeter fence.

The fence posts are pointed at the top, which helps to shed water from the end grain, and so resist any rot. In practice, chestnut fencing is not easy to break through or to clamber over.

In addition to all these practical advantages, chestnut fencing looks good. It enhances virtually any scene when new and it improves over the passage of time, blending onto its background as only a natural product can.

Chestnut fencing is used in all parts of Great Britain, and is a familiar sight in domestic gardens, estates and public parks. In addition to this permanent use it is invaluable as a temporary fencing where work is in progress and where access has to be controlled. The same practical properties gives it an important role at public events where it can be used to control crowds and contain animals safely and effectively.

Another use for this fencing is for soil or beach erosion control. Used as a windbreak, it has stabilised large areas of sand dunes by inhibiting wind erosion. The same properties make this product ideal for snow fencing.

The erection of chestnut fencing is relatively simple. The supporting posts are first driven in at the required intervals. i.e. 2 meters and the end posts are braced with a diagonal strut. The fencing is unrolled, fixed at one end to a straining post, and then pulled taut and stapled to each post in turn. The great advantage over other forms of prefabricated fencing is its flexibility, as not only will it wrap around corners but it will move effectively to conform with the contours and variations of the site.
