About Fencing in South Shields
South Shields sits at the mouth of the Tyne, home to Arbeia, the most extensively excavated Roman military supply base anywhere in the former empire, founded around AD 128 to guard the sea route to Hadrian's Wall and now a UNESCO World Heritage site with full scale reconstructions of its original buildings. The town today combines this Roman history with a long sandy beach and a working harbour. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering postcodes NE33 and NE34.

Types of Materials found in South Shields
South Shields sits where the Coal Measures bedrock typical of the wider Durham and Northumberland coalfield meets the Magnesian Limestone found along parts of the North East coast. Ground closer to the immediate coastline can include sandier, more mobile material linked to the beach, while areas further inland generally sit on the more typical glacial boulder clay found across the region, holding water and draining slowly after sustained rain.

Is the ground in South Shields suitable for fence posts?
Ground near the immediate coastline can be sandier, while areas further inland generally sit on the more typical glacial boulder clay found across the wider North East, which holds water and drains slowly.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in South Shields?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in South Shields. South Tyneside Council can confirm any extra rules for properties near the Arbeia Roman fort site.
Does South Shields' coastal position affect fencing choices?
Being at the mouth of the Tyne, South Shields properties face strong North Sea winds and salt laden air, so pressure treated timber and galvanised fixings tend to last considerably longer than untreated materials.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in South Shields?
South Tyneside Council operates household waste recycling centres that accept timber and garden waste. Many local fencing contractors will also remove your old fence as part of the installation.
