Ashington gravel board supply — stops your fence rotting at ground level
Gravel board is what most Ashington fencers reach for first. Gravel boards are the horizontal timber that sits at the base of a fence, between the posts, raising the fence boards off wet earth and stopping ground-rot. A gravel board is the cheapest single thing you can do to add years to a fence. We deliver across Ashington and the Northumberland coast and the wider Northumberland footprint — 1–2 day.
Whether you're laying a single back-garden run on a Newbiggin-by-the-Sea or Lynemouth property or quoting a multi-house developer plot, the timber's the same: pressure-treated softwood, sized properly, dropped where you need it.

What Ashington looks like for fencing
Newbiggin-by-the-Sea takes the full hit from any easterly wind — fences here last about 60% of what an inland Ashington fence does unless they're specced properly. We won't quote a thin-spec fence for a coastal Newbiggin or Lynemouth plot. Inland Ashington streets are sheltered and standard residential spec is fine.
Neighbourhoods we drop to: Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, Lynemouth, Pegswood, Bedlington Station, Bothal, North Seaton, Stakeford, Guidepost. Plus surrounding postcodes (NE61–NE64) — drop your postcode at checkout if you're unsure.
