North Tyneside sleeper supply — raised beds, retaining walls, garden steps
Sleeper is what most North Tyneside 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 North Tyneside (Wallsend, Longbenton, Killingworth) and the wider Tyne and Wear footprint — Next-day.
Whether you're laying a single back-garden run on a Forest Hall or Longbenton property or quoting a multi-house developer plot, the timber's the same: pressure-treated softwood, sized properly, dropped where you need it.

What North Tyneside looks like for fencing
North Tyneside catches some coastal wind on its eastern edge (Backworth and Murton are exposed), so we'd lean to 4×4 posts on anything above a sheltered garden. Most of the original Killingworth fencing was 3×3 posts — we replace with 4×3 as standard to give a longer life. Bedrock comes close to the surface in patches around Killingworth which limits how deep posts can go; we'll spec a metpost or concrete spur if we hit it.
Neighbourhoods we drop to: Forest Hall, Longbenton, Killingworth, Benton, Wallsend, Walkergate, Backworth, Murton, Holystone, Palmersville. Plus surrounding postcodes (NE12, NE27–NE28) — drop your postcode at checkout if you're unsure.
