Gosforth fence post supply — pressure-treated softwood
Fence post is what most Gosforth 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 Gosforth, Kingston Park and Brunswick and the wider Tyne and Wear footprint — Same-day.
Whether you're laying a single back-garden run on a Brunswick or Wideopen 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 Gosforth looks like for fencing
Mature gardens here often have an existing fence that's reached the end of its life — we frequently replace 30+ year-old posts that are rotted out at the base. Some Gosforth conservation streets have height restrictions; we'll flag if your spec needs scaled back. Soil is generally good loam, posts go in easy.
