Plain Face Gravel Board 12″

Plain concrete gravel boards

Plain concrete gravel boards manufactured to a high standard, providing a strong, durable, and long-lasting base for fencing installations. Designed to sit beneath fence panels, these gravel boards help protect fencing from ground contact, moisture, and rot while improving the overall strength and lifespan of the fence line.

Factory made using quality concrete, plain concrete gravel boards offer consistent dimensions and reliable performance across both residential and commercial fencing projects. They are widely used in combination with concrete fence posts and are suitable for use with a variety of fence panels, including feather edge panels, waney lap panels, and decorative fencing.

One of the main advantages of plain concrete gravel boards is their ability to keep fence panels raised off the ground. By preventing direct contact with soil and standing water, the gravel board significantly reduces the risk of timber rot and moisture damage. This makes them an essential component of any long-lasting fencing system, particularly in damp ground conditions.

Plain concrete gravel boards are especially popular for low-maintenance fencing installations. Unlike timber gravel boards, they will not rot, warp, or suffer insect attack. Once installed, they require very little ongoing maintenance, making them a cost-effective long-term solution for garden boundaries and perimeter fencing.

Being factory manufactured, these gravel boards benefit from uniform sizing and a consistent finish. This ensures a neat and level fence line, particularly important on longer runs where alignment and appearance matter. The simple, plain design provides a clean and unobtrusive finish that allows the fence panels themselves to remain the main visual feature.

These gravel boards are suitable for use with a range of concrete post types, including end posts, corner posts, and 3-way posts. Using the correct post configuration alongside gravel boards helps create a strong, well-supported fencing structure that performs reliably over time.

Plain concrete gravel boards are designed to work seamlessly with a full range of standard concrete fence posts, making them suitable for straightforward fencing runs as well as more complex layouts. When paired with standard intermediate posts, they create a strong and consistent fence line that is easy to install and maintain over time.

For customers looking to add a more decorative finish at ground level, we also offer rock faced concrete gravel boards as an alternative option. Rock faced gravel boards provide the same strength and protection as plain boards but feature a textured face that adds visual interest, making them a popular choice for front gardens and more visible boundary fencing.

Gravel boards are commonly supplied in a 6-inch height, which is ideal for keeping fence panels raised clear of the ground while maintaining a balanced overall fence height. Both plain 6-inch gravel boards and rock faced 6-inch gravel boards are available, allowing you to choose the finish that best suits your fencing style and property.

Using the correct gravel board type alongside standard concrete posts helps protect fence panels from moisture, reduces maintenance requirements, and improves the overall lifespan of the fencing system. Whether you opt for a plain or decorative finish, concrete gravel boards form a reliable and long-lasting foundation for your fence.

Installation is straightforward when paired with slotted concrete posts. The gravel board sits securely in the lower slot, providing a solid base before the fence panels are installed above. For best results, gravel boards should be installed level and supported correctly to ensure the fence remains straight and stable.

Plain concrete gravel boards are ideal for both new fencing projects and replacement work. They can be used to upgrade existing fencing systems or incorporated into completely new installations. Replacing timber gravel boards with concrete alternatives is a common upgrade, particularly where longevity and reduced maintenance are priorities.

The neutral appearance of plain concrete gravel boards makes them suitable for a wide range of fencing styles and property types. Whether used in modern gardens or more traditional settings, they provide a practical solution without detracting from the overall look of the fence.

These gravel boards also help improve fence strength by reducing ground movement impact on the panels. By forming a solid barrier at ground level, they help maintain panel alignment and prevent damage caused by shifting soil or debris buildup.

When installing fencing in areas prone to heavy rain or poor drainage, concrete gravel boards are especially beneficial. They create a clear separation between the fence panels and the ground, helping extend the lifespan of the entire fencing system.

All plain concrete gravel boards are manufactured with quality control in mind, ensuring they meet expected standards for strength and finish before leaving the factory. This consistency makes installation easier and helps achieve a professional-looking result.

If you’re looking for a durable, low-maintenance solution to protect your fence panels and improve overall fence performance, plain concrete gravel boards are a practical and reliable choice. Designed for longevity and compatibility with concrete fencing systems, they provide a solid foundation for a wide range of fencing projects.
