Fence rails for Gateshead fence builds — stock and trade pack
Common Gateshead jobs we supply fence rail for: Gateshead is a real mix — we'll be on a 70s semi-detached garden in Low Fell one morning and a new-build estate run in Marley Hill the next. Long closeboard runs are the bread and butter. We see a fair bit of repair work on the older Felling and Wrekenton estates after winter, and trade supply to local landscapers covering the Whickham and Sunniside villages.
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
Closeboard fence between posts, post-and-rail boundary, paddock fencing, repairs after a storm.
How to install / use
Most 6ft closeboard fence uses two rails per bay; taller (7ft+) uses three. Rails sit in rebated post slots, or sit on the face of the post with rail brackets. We stock both 12ft and 14ft lengths so bays can be built without scarf joints.
What Gateshead looks like for fencing
Gateshead's hilly — Sheriff Hill and Low Fell sit high enough to catch the weather off the Tyne, so post depth matters more here than in the lower flats. We use 4×4 posts on most exposed runs and concrete-set as standard. Clay soil in pockets around Springwell needs rapid-set postcrete to set properly before back-filling.
