Washington fence board supply — closeboard timber, kerbside
Trade buying fence board in Washington? Open a trade account for net terms and trade rates. Most Washington jobs we supply roll through in Next-day, kerbside dropped at the door or the working site.
Washington is a 1960s new town and a lot of its original boundary fencing is now reaching wholesale-replacement age. We do a lot of whole-section runs — phased so nobody loses their back garden overnight. Trade supply to landlords managing the original Washington Development Corporation housing is regular work. Gate posts for driveway entrances on the newer Springwell and Lambton estates round out the volume.

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.
What Washington looks like for fencing
The original Washington estate fencing was light spec — 3×3 posts at 1.8m centres with thin rails. Most of what we replace now we upgrade to 4×3 concrete-set with proper 3.6m rails, which gives a much longer life. Heavy clay soil in pockets around Ayton and Usworth — rapid-set postcrete is a must, not a nice-to-have.
