Birtley timber supply — joists, battens, framing
Timber joist is what most Birtley fencers reach for first. Pressure-treated construction timber for jobs that need a sized softwood section. Common: 4×2, 6×2 and 8×2 in 3m, 3.6m and 4.2m lengths. We deliver across Birtley and Lamesley and the wider Durham footprint — Next-day.
Whether you're laying a single back-garden run on a Lamesley or Vigo property or quoting a multi-house developer plot, the timber's the same: pressure-treated softwood, sized properly, dropped where you need it.

What Birtley looks like for fencing
Heavy clay soil in pockets around Lamesley and Ouston — rapid-set postcrete is essential, otherwise posts move before the concrete sets properly. Birtley's hilly streets mean we'll often step a fence (each panel level, drop between posts) rather than rake it (panel follows the slope) — looks neater and lasts longer.
Neighbourhoods we drop to: Lamesley, Vigo, Eighton Banks, Kibblesworth, Ouston, Pelton Fell, Ravensworth. Plus surrounding postcodes (DH3, NE11) — drop your postcode at checkout if you're unsure.
