North Tyneside gate post supply — drives, doubles, garden gates
Gate post is what most North Tyneside fencers reach for first. Gate posts are heavier than fence posts — most drive gates need 6"×6" (150×150mm) timber a minimum of 8ft long, so the post can go a metre into concrete with another 5ft above ground. Garden side-return gates can use a 4×4 if the gate is light. 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.
