Pressure-treated fence posts for Sunderland — concrete-set spec, in stock
Common Sunderland jobs we supply fence post for: Sunderland splits into two jobs-wise: the coastal Roker/Seaburn streets where we're replacing storm-damaged panels and adding caps for longevity, and the inland Silksworth/Doxford estates where it's mostly new-build trade supply and full closeboard runs. Houghton, Hetton and Penshaw run the older terraced stock — lots of single-panel replacements and gate-post jobs.
If it's bigger than a back-garden run — say a developer plot or a multi-house estate — ring the yard and we'll quote the whole load with delivery built in.

Common uses
New closeboard fence runs, post-and-rail boundary fencing, gate posts, replacement of rotted posts (often paired with a concrete spur).
How to install / use
Posts go in roughly 600mm below ground on 1.8m centres for 6ft fence. Concrete-set with postcrete or wet mix; some installers use post-spikes for repairs or temporary fence. 4×4 posts are the safe default for windier spots and gate posts.
What Sunderland looks like for fencing
The North Sea air is the big factor on anything east of the A1018. Salt accelerates rot at the ground line, so we recommend gravel boards under every coastal fence and pressure-treated posts as a minimum — never untreated. Sandy soil in pockets near Seaburn and Roker means standard post depths need a touch more concrete than inland.
