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 Gateshead looks like for fencing

Gateshead's hilly — Sheriff Hill and Low Fell sit high enough to catch the weather off the Tyne, so post depth matters more here than in the lower flats. We use 4×4 posts on most exposed runs and concrete-set as standard. Clay soil in pockets around Springwell needs rapid-set postcrete to set properly before back-filling.
