Out at Consett the workload swings rural — smallholders with paddock fencing, horse owners wanting post-and-rail, longer boundary runs on rural plots. Closeboard for the village high streets (Burnopfield, Lanchester). Stanley's a slightly bigger town and looks more like a Tyne and Wear estate run — full closeboard, gate posts, trade supply.

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 Consett looks like for fencing
West Durham catches weather coming off the moors — colder, wetter, more exposed than the coast. Fence treatment matters: untreated will rot fast, and a cap rail on top is worth the extra few quid for any exposed run. Some Lanchester and Castleside plots back onto open fields with livestock, so we'll spec stock-proof boards (closeboard with no gaps) rather than panel.
