Fencing Products
We manufacture and supply a comprehensive range of fencing products including closeboard, picket, and lap panels. Our timber fencing combines traditional craftsmanship with modern treatment technologies to ensure durability. Available in various styles and sizes, our fencing solutions cater to both domestic gardens and commercial properties while maintaining FSC sustainability standards.
PermaTimber Posts
Our PermaTimber brand features incised, pressure-treated fence posts with a 15-year guarantee against decay. Using WPA Benchmark-approved methods, these posts offer superior preservative penetration. Ideal for ground contact applications, they combine structural integrity with environmental credentials through sustainably sourced spruce and larch timber treated at our renewable energy-powered facility.
Decking Materials
We provide pressure-treated decking boards and composite decking solutions designed for longevity and low maintenance. Our decking joists meet C16 strength grading standards, while accessories like balustrades and joist hangers ensure safe, professional installations. Products are available in various dimensions to suit both residential patios and commercial spaces.
Landscaping Supplies
Our landscaping range includes sleepers, edging timber, geotextile membranes, and bark mulch. These products help create defined garden spaces while controlling weeds and moisture retention. Timber components are pressure-treated for ground contact use, and we offer installation accessories like fixings and brackets to complete any landscaping project.
Garden Buildings
We manufacture premium garden sheds and storage solutions with features like Tyvek Housewrap for weather protection. Our buildings use high-quality timber construction methods and come with options for custom sizes and finishes. From small storage sheds to large apex buildings, our structures combine functionality with aesthetic appeal for long-term garden use.

Thank you for the supply and delivery of two trellis fence panels recently. The service was excellent and I'm really pleased with the construction and quality of the goods. I will be recommending you to family and friends.

Report
Just wanted to say a big thanks to Walford Timber for saving the day with a new table top. Having bought garden furniture elsewhere a few years ago, the table top had rotted beyond repair and it looked like the whole lot was heading for the skip. Real shame as we liked the table and its frame was sound. Spoke to Walford and they arranged for me to have the timber from one of their picnic tables plus a few more lengths to make it a bit wider - All sorted in a couple of days and I got pressure treated timber that's going to last for years, a smart table and saved a tidy bit of money thanks to their advice. Can't ask for more than that. Would recommend Walford Timber everytime.
