What is the maximum size panel?

The maximum size panel that can be made is 3.6 metres wide and 2 metres high. Please be aware that there is an additional charge for delivering a panel over 3 metres wide.

How are fence panels delivered?

A specialist courier is used to deliver panels. When ordering, please inform us of any potential access problems. Large orders will be delivered on a pallet(s). Panels can also be collected from our farm. If you would rather collect, please select this option when ordering.

Is garden edging available in different sizes?

Yes. There are two standard sizes available on the website. Bespoke garden edging can also be made. Please contact us for a quote.

What is the best way to look after willow fence panels?

Treat regularly with a 50/50 mixture of boiled linseed oil and turpentine. This mixture can be applied by brush or with a spray bottle. Treating panels once a year will greatly extend their life and keep them looking beautiful.

What is the minimum size panel?

The minimum size panel made here is 2ft x 2ft (61cms x 61cms)

How heavy is a panel?

A 6ft by 6ft panel (either framed or ribbon) can be carried by an adult.

Can you see through a willow fence panel?

While the weave allows a little light and wind to pass through, our willow panels provide great privacy and screening. 

Are fence panels in stock?

Our panels are very popular, so our weavers usually make them to order. Spring and summer are particularly busy times. Rest assured, our friendly team will keep you posted on delivery times.  These usually vary between 2 – 12 weeks.

All the panels are made on our farm with willow grown here.

How can a fence panel be attached to a post?

There are several different ways to attach a panel to a post. Depending on the site, they can be attached to the side or front of a post. Framed willow fence panels can be secured with 700mm screws. 

Do Musgrove Willows sell fence posts?

No. If you are erecting standard size panels, (e.g. 6ft by 6ft) 3″ by 3″ wooden posts are ideal. These can be purchased at most DIY stores or garden centres.

Do Musgrove Willows make bespoke fence panels?

Yes. Every panel is made on our Somerset farm with willow grown here.

How can bespoke panels be ordered?

The quickest way is to use our website calculator. Simply enter the dimensions of the panel(s) you require to calculate a price. The panel(s) can then be paid for and ordered online.

Alternatively, email us with the dimensions and style of the panel(s) required. A quote will then be provided. Panels will not be made until written acceptance of the quote and payment are received. Please be aware that bespoke panels are non-refundable.
