Pressure-treated fence posts for Washington — concrete-set spec, in stock
Common Washington jobs we supply fence post for: Washington is a 1960s new town and a lot of its original boundary fencing is now reaching wholesale-replacement age. We do a lot of whole-section runs — phased so nobody loses their back garden overnight. Trade supply to landlords managing the original Washington Development Corporation housing is regular work. Gate posts for driveway entrances on the newer Springwell and Lambton estates round out the volume.
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 Washington looks like for fencing
The original Washington estate fencing was light spec — 3×3 posts at 1.8m centres with thin rails. Most of what we replace now we upgrade to 4×3 concrete-set with proper 3.6m rails, which gives a much longer life. Heavy clay soil in pockets around Ayton and Usworth — rapid-set postcrete is a must, not a nice-to-have.
