Fence boards for Houghton-le-Spring fencers and DIY — fresh, treated, stocked
Common Houghton-le-Spring jobs we supply fence board for: Houghton, Hetton and the surrounding ex-mining villages have rows and rows of similar 1970s estate housing where the boundary fencing is all at the same age — and that age is now end-of-life. Whole-row replacements are our staple here. Trade supply to social-housing maintenance contractors is steady. Gate posts and panel replacements fill the rest.
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.

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 Houghton-le-Spring looks like for fencing
The ex-mining estates were built fast with light-spec fencing — 3×3 posts, light rails — and we always upgrade on replacement. Mine-shaft surveys cover some streets so deep posts get awkward in pockets near old workings; if your job's flagged on a mining-zone map we'll spec metposts or concrete spurs instead.
Neighbourhoods we drop to: Hetton-le-Hole, Easington Lane, Penshaw, Newbottle, Eppleton, Shiney Row, Fence Houses, Hetton Downs. Plus surrounding postcodes (DH4, DH5) — drop your postcode at checkout if you're unsure.
