Hexham fence post supply — pressure-treated softwood
Fence post is what most Hexham 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 Hexham and Corbridge and the wider Northumberland footprint — 1–2 day.
Whether you're laying a single back-garden run on a Corbridge or Prudhoe 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 Hexham looks like for fencing
Stone-built cottages with established gardens often have older fencing in unusual heights (5ft, 7ft, etc.) — we stock these so don't worry if your run doesn't match the standard 6ft. Tyne Valley wind funnels through some plots, so 4×4 posts are sensible on exposed runs. Bedrock close to surface in pockets around Acomb and Allendale — we'll spec accordingly.
Neighbourhoods we drop to: Corbridge, Prudhoe, Stocksfield, Riding Mill, Acomb, Allendale, Bardon Mill, Wylam, Bellingham, Haydon Bridge. Plus surrounding postcodes (NE45–NE47) — drop your postcode at checkout if you're unsure.
