HOWARTH TIMBER & BUILDING SUPPLIES
Founded in 1840, Howarth Timber & Building Supplies has grown from a small Leeds-based timber merchant into one of the UK’s leading suppliers of timber and building materials.
With more than 180 years of experience and a nationwide network of 37 branches, the company has built a reputation for combining traditional customer service values with a modern and extensive product offering. Today, Howarth Timber is recognised as the UK’s largest privately owned timber company, serving both trade professionals and DIY customers with expertise, reliability, and quality products.
Timber remains at the heart of the business, which is especially evident in Howarth’s impressive fencing range. Whether customers are looking to improve privacy, enhance security, or elevate the appearance of their outdoor space, the company offers products to suit almost every requirement. From traditional fence panels and feather edge boards to decorative trellis, fence posts, rails, palings, and gravel boards, the selection reflects both durability and practicality.
A standout feature of Howarth Timber’s fencing products is the emphasis on treated timber. Many of the fencing materials are pressure-treated to help resist rot, moisture, and weather damage, making them suitable for long-term outdoor use. The company also stocks UC3 and UC4 treated timber products, designed specifically for external applications where durability is essential. This commitment to quality gives homeowners and contractors confidence that the products are built to withstand the British climate.
In addition to supplying materials, Howarth Timber provides practical advice through buying guides and how-to resources, helping customers choose the right fencing for their needs. Whether creating a secure garden boundary, adding decorative landscaping features, or completing a large-scale construction project, the company positions itself as more than just a merchant – it is a trusted partner for outdoor and building projects alike.
With its longstanding heritage and extensive fencing range, Howarth Timber continues to be a respected name within the UK timber industry.
