Timber Gravel Board for Protecting Fence Panels
A quality timber gravel board protects your timber fencing, helping it look good for longer while supporting the validity of manufacturer guarantees. It sits at the base of a fence, between or beneath panels, stopping them from sitting directly on damp ground.
A common question when planning a new fence is whether a gravel board is really necessary, and the answer is yes in most cases: moisture can penetrate the surface of wooden fencing, causing the timber to rot and decay over time, and a timber gravel board is easy to replace, protects the fence above it, and helps complete the overall look. It's especially worth fitting if you have a flower bed in front of the fence, or if your garden is in a particularly shaded or damp area.
Sizing and specification
This timber gravel board measures 6" x 1" (150mm x 22mm) and is available in three lengths, 6ft, 8ft and 12ft, with a finish of Tanalised (natural colour) or Tanatone (brown) to match your fence panels.
Installation guidance
Fit the timber gravel board between fence posts at the base of the fence line, with panels sitting above it rather than directly on the ground. For a complete fencing setup, take a look at our timber post caps and feather edge boards, along with our full range of accessories, brackets and hardware.
Priced from £3.29 to £6.48 depending on length and finish, this timber gravel board is available to order online or from our Worcestershire yard.
