Attractive Willow Fencing

I really love this willow fencing. It's sturdy, attractive and works well as a windbreak on my roof deck. I would agree with other reviewers that it offers very little privacy because the spacing between the branches is such that you can pretty much see through it. If you were to double it up then it would definitely offer more privacy. It suits my purposes though as I didn't want to block out the view completely, but did want a decent, natural looking windbreak, and to make the deck look/feel…

Pros
  • Arrived in timely fashion, looks great and accomplishes the purpose we purchased it for!A win win.
Cons
  • Good quality reeds and well constructed but don't expect to achieve a since of privacy.

Spacing is farther apart than picture

I purchased a much better willow fence years ago. There are much wider gaps in the spacing of these branches than indicated by the picture. The branches are not a consistent size and spacing is wide by comparison. Also, the wire was black rather than galvanized (?) wire used in this one. The irregularities are nice in both. This is an OK product.

Pros
  • used to cover a garage wall that was unsightly, fit nicely, did the job.
Cons
  • This is more of a psychological privacy screen. Anyone can see through it. I doubled it in half.

I had already installed willow fencing like that that I bought from Plow and Hearth (plow heart dot com) but needed more; they were out of stock. I ordered this Gardman fencing and installed it to match. This one is literally half as many willow branches, which means that it does not screen my property as well as I had planned. It is not a good match for the Plow and Hearth willow fencing, so I ended up running it alongside my garage, mostly out of sight from the house. I hadn't planned to…

Pros
  • They look great
Cons
  • There's NO privacy with this fence! It doesn't provide the coverage I was looking for. : (

Bad for privacy, good for barrier or decoration

As other reviewers have observed, the photo on the order page is the OLD version of this product. I know because I have the old version, which has sticks that are twice as thick and wired more closely together. I ordered the NEW version of this product and installed it next to the old one so I have a perfect comparison. Although the old one didn't give 100% privacy it was much, much better than the new. You can basically see right through the new one, especially at night -- you can't even tell…

Pros
  • Good quality and arrived quickly.
Cons
  • This willow is not what is in the picture. It is thin like bamboo. Waste of money.

Perfect Application

Was a perfect solution for our pergola. It provided a muted shade and looks terrific. We installed it as a roof covering, not a fence.

Pros
  • It was what I'd ordered
Cons
  • The willow branches are about an inch apart from each other and do not offer any privacy!!

I had once previously purchased this product a number of years ago. It was well made and the osiers were close together and formed an almost impenetrable visual barrier. Exactly what I needed to screen of my trash cans from the street. As time passes however things deteriorate, including the bottom of the osiers that were in contact with the ground. No big deal, just replace the screen and continue on; except that the present product is so loosely woven that even a double layer of screen still…

Pros
  • This makes a great little privacy fence by our picnic area. Love it.
Cons
  • Too see through for outdoor shower.

I like the look online

Well.I like the look online, but there is too much of a gap in between the actual sticks of willow. Also, it doesn't appear to be very sturdy. I wanted it for above my gazebo/arbor to act as a shade.

Pros
  • Provides a safe space for gardening or outdoor activities
Cons
  • May not be able to support heavier plants growing against it

Disappointed and returning

This is not what I received. I received the thinner reeds. Same per portions in size but lighter shade and very thin. Huge gaps that make the privacy factor non existent. Disappointed and returning. :(

Pros
  • I love our new fence!
Cons
  • Not as advertised.

Privacy fencing on my review.

Used as a privacy screen- attached to chain-link fence. Works well, looks great! Installed w/ zip ties- easy! That's my review.

Pros
  • Adds aesthetic value to outdoor space
Cons
  • Needs to be cleaned regularly to avoid buildup of dirt and grime

Waste of money good for me

Lousy screen, you can see right through because it’s wired so loose with twigs, advertising looks much larger thickness of the wood. I folded to double so I could actually screen my A/C unit outside.

Pros
  • Does not obstruct view or natural light
Cons
  • Can be impractical for those with limited space in their garden

Poor quality: my feedback

I'm afraid this fencing is very cheaply made and provides zero ptivacy. We ended up putting up a real wooden fence. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Rust-resistant material
Cons
  • Interferes with the aesthetic appeal of your garden

Easy to unwrap best in my review

I used two of these as shade over my black metal pergola. Easy to unwrap, fairly light weight, and gives the perfect amount of filtered light.

Pros
  • Creates a more defined and polished look to outdoor space
Cons
  • Can be difficult to move around once it is fully assembled

It does take two people to put this up, I tried to put it up around my deck for a bit of privacy but it was hard to do alone. Pros: it does look good and gives that boho look to my deck. Cons: there is kind of a waxy coating on the 'willows'. It really seems more like bamboo than willow. Also, you can really see through it from a distance. So not a lot of privacy but it does look pretty good so I don't mind that part.I wish I would have ordered two or three of them to completely wrap my…

Pros
  • Adjustable height for customization
Cons
  • May not be a suitable option for larger gardens

willow fencing in my review

The spacing on the sticks too far apart, too transparent. It affords no privacy from nosey neighbors. should not be able to read a newspaper through it.

Pros
  • Have had this fencing at summer home for over 30 years and love it's look and durability.
Cons
  • Too much space between bamboos

Good Long Lasting Willow Fencing

This is the second time that I have ordered this product. Last time we over 6 years ago and Im just now replacing it. It has made a great screening for our back yard gazeebo area. It is best placed up against another fence or something. if you are using it alone for privacy you will need to get 2 of them and put them togther as it is not thick enough to total block out things behing it. It is a great product.

Pros
  • Comes in different colors to suit personal style
Cons
  • May require additional support posts to keep it in place

Not well made in my review

Disappointed, very poor quality. The willow is flimsy and the wire restrains don't hold the willow securely. It will probably cost me more to ship it back than it's worth!

Pros
  • Used as dressing up for chicken wire pen facing our yard. Doing well so far.
Cons
  • Can still see thru.

Great fence in my opinion.

I love this fence. I didn't want to block of the view completely in my backyard so this was perfect. I use this fence for safety from wildlife and plan to grow on a vine on it.

Pros
  • Suitable for both residential and commercial properties
Cons
  • May not be suitable for gardens in high-traffic areas

Good solution! for my opinion

Very pleased with this well made, natural looking product. Arrived in a light weight, well constructed fabric carrying case inside the shipping box. Not much screening privacy as a single layer but so flexible I was able to get just the right amount of privacy by folding back on itself for three layers. I plan to buy two more for additional use.

Pros
  • Keeps out unwanted animals or pests
Cons
  • Not very effective at drowning out sound or noise pollution

Flexible Fencing for my opinion

We used this as a flexible fence to conceal recycling containers. It was very easy to work with and the quality was good great product.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • Very thin twigs. Not what I expected. Very disappointed.

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Lousy product for my opinion

This product is very sheer and not screening at all. The willow shoots are so thin that the wire binding them together come right off and the space between each willow is larger than the willow itself. Very unsatisfactory!

Pros
  • Durable against weather elements
Cons
  • Could block sunlight from reaching certain parts of your garden
