Fence boards for Gateshead fencers and DIY — fresh, treated, stocked
Common Gateshead jobs we supply fence board for: Gateshead is a real mix — we'll be on a 70s semi-detached garden in Low Fell one morning and a new-build estate run in Marley Hill the next. Long closeboard runs are the bread and butter. We see a fair bit of repair work on the older Felling and Wrekenton estates after winter, and trade supply to local landscapers covering the Whickham and Sunniside villages.
If it's bigger than a back-garden run — say a developer plot or a multi-house estate — ring the yard and we'll quote the whole load with delivery built in.

Common uses
Full-height boundary fences, gate-frame fill, single-panel repairs after a storm, garden screens for patios and bin stores.
How to install / use
Boards run vertically on horizontal rails between 4×3" or 4×4" posts. Typical 6ft fence uses 6ft × 6" boards on 4ft 6" centres with two arris rails. For repairs, match the existing height and you can often slot a new board into the old line.
Installation notes are general guidance only. Timber sizes are approximate cut sizes (it's a natural material).
What Gateshead looks like for fencing
Gateshead's hilly — Sheriff Hill and Low Fell sit high enough to catch the weather off the Tyne, so post depth matters more here than in the lower flats. We use 4×4 posts on most exposed runs and concrete-set as standard. Clay soil in pockets around Springwell needs rapid-set postcrete to set properly before back-filling.
