Just after the first frost in early winter, willow branches are harvested in wet meadows along the major rivers of East and Central Europe. The frost gives the branches a beautifulk golden colour and strengthens them too.

These willow branches are carefully  sorted to find prime fence-weaving material. Then they are
boiled and oil- treated before being wowen aoung strong, round, pine crossbars. These crossbars are drilled into the impregnated, pine frames which provides additional strength to the construction of this natural fence.
