Chestnut Pailing
Chestnut paling is a traditional and natural product which has been grown in Kent and East Sussex since medieval times. Its strength and appearance are amongst its qualities and it weathers down to an attractive neutral colour.
Paling is made from split sweet chestnut held at the top and bottom by wires. Dependent upon height it can be supplied with two or three rows of horizontal wires with the vertical pales spaced 2 inches or 3 inches apart.
The pales have pointed tops which help shed water from the end grain and so resist rot. This also adds to security with the pointed top making the fencing very difficult to climb over.
Paling is used in both temporary and permanent applications including soil or beach erosion control, windbreaks and snow fencing.
