What Gateshead looks like for fencing
Gateshead's hilly — Sheriff Hill and Low Fell sit high enough to catch the weather off the Tyne, so post depth matters more here than in the lower flats. We use 4×4 posts on most exposed runs and concrete-set as standard. Clay soil in pockets around Springwell needs rapid-set postcrete to set properly before back-filling.
Neighbourhoods we drop to: Low Fell, Felling, Wrekenton, Sheriff Hill, Dunston, Whickham, Marley Hill, Sunniside, Springwell, Wardley, Bensham. Plus surrounding postcodes (NE8–NE11, NE16, NE21) — drop your postcode at checkout if you're unsure.
