Chestnut Paling Fence, with Three Wires

4' / 1.22m High x 30' / 9.2m Long

Chestnut Paling (or Cleft Chestnut) fencing is a traditional rural fencing solution made from naturally durable sweet chestnut hardwood. Individual chestnut pales are split by hand and joined together with galvanised wire to form flexible rolls of fencing.

Thanks to the timber’s naturally high tannin content, chestnut fencing offers excellent resistance to decay without chemical treatment and can last 15 years or more.

Its natural appearance allows it to blend seamlessly into rural landscapes while providing an economical option for enclosing large areas.

A chestnut paling fence is strong, durable and difficult to climb over. It will last for many years and is repairable if damaged. Quick to erect, it makes a versatile temporary or permanent fence, which can easily be moved, re-used or taken down and stored. Chestnut pale fencing is also used extensively for dune stabilisation as well as erosion protection and stabilisation of riverbanks.

The rolls of traditional chestnut paling fence are made to BS Standard 1722 Part 4 and are made with FSC certified wood.

• Woodland
