When it comes to selecting fencing materials, there is a huge range to choose from; however, tropical hardwood is commonly the top choice for equine fencing.
Not only does the fence have to be high quality in both aesthetics and durability, but it has to ensure the safety of the horses on a daily basis. Tropical hardwood adds value to your property in all of these ways which is why Norton’s Fencing recommends De Sutter Naturally Tropical Hardwood.
What is Tropical Hardwood?
Tropical hardwood is a type of wood that originates from deciduous trees; this refers to trees that seasonally shed leaves. Some examples of deciduous trees include oak, maple, elm, birch and willow.
Benefits of Tropical Hardwood for Equine Fencing
Hardest & Most Durable Type of Wood

This ultimately means that it can withstand the elements and any wear and tear from daily use. De Sutter Naturally always choose the highest quality and durability class when selecting their materials.
