Whitley Bay gate post supply — drives, doubles, garden gates
Gate post is what most Whitley Bay fencers reach for first. Gate posts are heavier than fence posts — most drive gates need 6"×6" (150×150mm) timber a minimum of 8ft long, so the post can go a metre into concrete with another 5ft above ground. Garden side-return gates can use a 4×4 if the gate is light. We deliver across Whitley Bay and Tynemouth and the wider Tyne and Wear footprint — Next-day.
Whether you're laying a single back-garden run on a Monkseaton or Cullercoats property or quoting a multi-house developer plot, the timber's the same: pressure-treated softwood, sized properly, dropped where you need it.

What Whitley Bay looks like for fencing
Treat anything east of the A19 here as coastal: pressure-treated 4×4 posts, gravel boards mandatory, cap rail recommended, stainless or galvanised fixings throughout. We won't quote a thin-spec install for an exposed Marden or Cullercoats plot — it'll be back as a repair within five years and that's nobody's idea of a good deal.
Neighbourhoods we drop to: Monkseaton, Cullercoats, Tynemouth, Marden, Hillheads, Brierdene, Earsdon, Backworth, Holywell, Shiremoor. Plus surrounding postcodes (NE25, NE26, NE30) — drop your postcode at checkout if you're unsure.
