Tyneside flats, back lanes and North Sea weather
In Heaton, Sandyford and Fenham, back yards open onto cobbled or tarmac back lanes. Yard walls are often brick, but timber fencing, yard gates and dividing fences between upper and lower flats are common jobs – and it is worth agreeing any work with the neighbour who shares the yard.
Newcastle's cool, windy climate is tough on timber. Pressure-treated boards, concrete or heavy timber posts and galvanised fixings help fences last, especially on higher ground to the west of the city.
Newcastle's streets are dominated by a housing type found almost nowhere else: the Tyneside flat, where an upstairs and a downstairs flat share a terraced frontage and, often, a divided back yard. Around them are the grand terraces of Jesmond, the semis of Gosforth and Kenton, and newer estates to the north and west.

Questions about fencing in Newcastle upon Tyne
Who is responsible for the yard fence in a Tyneside flat?
It depends on the lease or title for each flat. Some yards are split between the upper and lower flats, others are shared. Check your deeds and agree any work with your neighbour.
What kind of yard gate is most secure?
A solid, ledged-and-braced timber gate hung on strong hinges, with a heavy-duty bolt and a lock that is only accessible from inside, is the usual choice for back-lane yards.
