Hexham sleeper supply — raised beds, retaining walls, garden steps
Sleeper is what most Hexham fencers reach for first. Sleepers are heavy timber baulks — usually around 8" × 4" (200×100mm) — sized like the original railway sleepers but pressure-treated softwood, not creosoted oak. Good for almost anything that needs a chunky timber edge. 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.

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.
