Durham timber supply — joists, battens, framing
Timber joist is what most Durham 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 Durham and the wider Durham footprint — 1–2 day.
Whether you're laying a single back-garden run on a Belmont or Brandon property or quoting a multi-house developer plot, the timber's the same: pressure-treated softwood, sized properly, dropped where you need it.

What Durham looks like for fencing
Heritage-area planning rules apply in the city centre — anywhere near the Cathedral, the peninsula or the conservation areas. We'll flag if your build needs a planning chat. Clay-heavy soil through Belmont and Pittington means deeper postcrete sets — we factor in extra cure time before fitting rails. Rural Durham village plots often run longer than city ones; bigger orders, longer runs, more cost-effective.
Neighbourhoods we drop to: Belmont, Brandon, Bowburn, Pittington, Carrville, Sherburn, Coxhoe, Framwellgate Moor, Newton Hall, Gilesgate, Nevilles Cross. Plus surrounding postcodes (DH1, DH6–DH7) — drop your postcode at checkout if you're unsure.
