South Shields timber supply — joists, battens, framing
Timber joist is what most South Shields 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 South Shields and South Tyneside and the wider Tyne and Wear footprint — Next-day.
Whether you're laying a single back-garden run on a Jarrow or Hebburn property or quoting a multi-house developer plot, the timber's the same: pressure-treated softwood, sized properly, dropped where you need it.

What South Shields looks like for fencing
If you're east of the A19, treat it as a proper coastal job — capped boards, 4×4 posts, gravel boards mandatory, and stainless or galvanised fixings instead of steel. Marsden in particular gets battered in any northerly. Inland (Jarrow, Hebburn, Boldon) is sheltered enough to use the standard spec without the cap rail.
Neighbourhoods we drop to: Jarrow, Hebburn, Boldon, Cleadon, Marsden, Whitburn, Westoe, Harton, Tyne Dock, Simonside. Plus surrounding postcodes (NE32–NE34) — drop your postcode at checkout if you're unsure.
