Alnwick fence post supply — pressure-treated softwood
Fence post is what most Alnwick fencers reach for first. Fence posts hold the fence up. Standard sections are 3×3" (75×75mm) for light or repair work, 4×3" (100×75mm) for typical 6ft closeboard, and 4×4" (100×100mm) for heavier loads, gate posts and exposed sites. Pressure-treated softwood as standard. We deliver across Alnwick and the north Northumberland coast and the wider Northumberland footprint — 1–2 day.
Whether you're laying a single back-garden run on a Warkworth or Amble property or quoting a multi-house developer plot, the timber's the same: pressure-treated softwood, sized properly, dropped where you need it.

Common uses
New closeboard fence runs, post-and-rail boundary fencing, gate posts, replacement of rotted posts (often paired with a concrete spur).
How to install / use
Posts go in roughly 600mm below ground on 1.8m centres for 6ft fence. Concrete-set with postcrete or wet mix; some installers use post-spikes for repairs or temporary fence. 4×4 posts are the safe default for windier spots and gate posts.
What Alnwick looks like for fencing
Heavy coastal weather on anything east of the A1 — Bamburgh, Seahouses, Embleton, Warkworth all see salt air and serious wind. We always recommend top-spec for these: 4×4 pressure-treated posts, gravel boards, cap rails, galvanised fixings. Inland (Rothbury, Lemmington) is sheltered and standard spec is fine. Long drives mean stock-and-deliver runs are more cost-effective than multiple trips.
