Very nice Mark, sort of thing I'd be very happy to pay for to have in my garden if I needed them.

They look great - so much better than some old carp from the garden center, that's for sure!

I made a couple while in college, they certainly didn't look as good as these do! Nice job.

Inspirational!
The winter winds have given the coup de grace to the willow hurdles I bought only four years ago. I was resigning myself to forking out for some over priced garden centre trellis. What a timely post. Of course I can make my own too, although I doubt they'll be up to your standard, but I just hadn't thought of it. And they'll be cheaper!

Lovely work! You seem to be quite the all round woodsman, and I am envious of your skills.

Cheers all

@oldtimer the hurdles that i made above from prepared timber are made from old roofing battens, brand new ones are dirt cheap and have a good lifetime on them, the rustic ones are made from Ash that i felled and then made the hurdles from, will last a long time and they are weathering wonderfully, but obviously lots more work involved.

Nice work and a very fine garden too, cant say the same of mine it's more akin to the somme.
