6″ Plain Gravel Board

6 inch plain gravel board designed to provide a clean, practical, and long-lasting solution for fencing installations where protection at ground level is required. If you want to avoid unsightly timber sitting directly on soil while also gaining additional height to your fence panels, this gravel board offers the ideal balance between appearance and performance.

The 6 inch plain gravel board features a flat, smooth face that delivers a neat and understated finish beneath fence panels. Its simple design ensures it blends easily with a wide range of fencing styles, allowing the fence panels themselves to remain the main visual feature while the gravel board performs its protective role.

Concrete gravel boards are used to prevent fence panels from sitting directly on the ground, where moisture and soil contact can significantly reduce their lifespan. By raising the panels above ground level, the 6 inch plain gravel board helps protect timber fencing from rot, decay, and long-term moisture damage. This makes it an essential component in fencing systems where durability and reduced maintenance are priorities.

The 6 inch height is particularly useful where a small lift is required, either to level fencing on uneven ground or to slightly increase the overall height of a fence without changing panel sizes. It provides enough clearance to protect the base of panels while maintaining a balanced and proportionate appearance.

Manufactured from concrete, the 6 inch plain gravel board offers excellent strength and longevity. Unlike timber alternatives, it will not rot, warp, or suffer insect attack. Once installed, it requires no ongoing treatment, making it a low-maintenance solution suitable for both domestic and trade fencing projects.

This gravel board is designed to work seamlessly with slotted concrete fence posts and is compatible with a wide range of fence panels, including closeboard, feather edge, and waney lap fencing. Used as part of a full concrete post and gravel board system, it helps create a robust, long-lasting fence line that performs well in all weather conditions.

For installation, the 6 inch plain gravel board slots neatly into the recessed channels of concrete fence posts, creating a secure and stable base for the fencing above. Correct alignment during installation helps ensure panels sit level and evenly spaced along the fence run.

Concrete gravel boards are particularly beneficial in areas with poor drainage or where fences are exposed to regular ground moisture. By acting as a barrier between the soil and the fence panels, the gravel board helps extend the lifespan of the entire fencing system and reduces the need for future repairs or replacements.

The neutral appearance of a plain gravel board makes it suitable for front gardens, side boundaries, and rear garden fencing alike. Its simple finish complements both traditional and modern fencing styles without drawing unnecessary attention.

This 6 inch plain gravel board is suitable for new fencing installations as well as replacement work. It can be used to upgrade existing timber gravel boards or incorporated into a completely new concrete fencing layout. Its practical height and clean finish make it a popular choice for tidy, well-constructed fencing projects.

If you are looking for a straightforward and effective way to protect your fence panels, improve longevity, and achieve a clean finish at ground level, the 6 inch plain gravel board provides a dependable and long-lasting solution.

This gravel board is also useful where fencing runs across sloping or uneven ground, helping maintain a consistent panel height while keeping the base of the fence clear of soil. Its durable concrete construction ensures reliable performance in all weather conditions.

Used correctly, gravel boards also help reduce splashback from heavy rain, keeping fence panels cleaner and minimising staining at the base. This contributes to a smarter-looking fence line for longer.
