Pressure-treated fence posts for Birtley — concrete-set spec, in stock
Common Birtley jobs we supply fence post for: Birtley sits between Gateshead and Chester-le-Street, so we get a mix of old-estate replacements (60s and 70s housing) and new-build trade supply. Vigo and Eighton Banks have steeper streets where stepped fencing's common rather than raked. Gate posts and short closeboard runs for the older Birtley terraces are regular.
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
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 Birtley looks like for fencing
Heavy clay soil in pockets around Lamesley and Ouston — rapid-set postcrete is essential, otherwise posts move before the concrete sets properly. Birtley's hilly streets mean we'll often step a fence (each panel level, drop between posts) rather than rake it (panel follows the slope) — looks neater and lasts longer.
