Rock Face Gravel Boards 12″

Rock faced concrete gravel boards

Rock faced concrete gravel boards manufactured to a high standard, providing a strong, durable, and decorative base for fencing installations. Designed to sit beneath fence panels, these gravel boards protect fencing from ground contact, moisture, and rot while adding a more attractive, textured finish at ground level.

Factory made using quality concrete, rock faced concrete gravel boards offer the same strength and longevity as plain gravel boards, with the added benefit of a stone-textured face. This makes them a popular choice for front gardens, visible boundaries, and fencing installations where appearance is just as important as durability.

One of the main advantages of rock faced concrete gravel boards is their ability to keep fence panels raised clear of the ground. By preventing direct contact with soil and standing water, the gravel board helps reduce the risk of timber rot and moisture damage, significantly extending the lifespan of the fence panels above.

Rock faced concrete gravel boards are especially well suited to low-maintenance fencing systems. Unlike timber gravel boards, they will not rot, warp, or suffer insect attack. Once installed, they require very little upkeep, making them a cost-effective long-term solution for both residential and commercial fencing projects.

Being factory manufactured, these gravel boards benefit from uniform sizing and a consistent finish. This ensures a neat, level fence line across the full run, particularly important on longer installations where alignment and presentation matter. The rock faced texture provides visual interest without overpowering the fence panels themselves.

These gravel boards are designed for use with a full range of concrete fence posts, including standard intermediate posts, end posts, corner posts, and 3-way posts. When installed correctly, they form a strong and stable foundation that supports the fence panels and improves overall fence performance.

Installation is straightforward when used with slotted concrete posts. The gravel board sits securely in the lower slot, providing a solid base before the fence panels are installed above. Correct installation helps maintain panel alignment and reduces movement caused by ground shift or debris buildup.

Rock faced concrete gravel boards are commonly supplied in a 6-inch height, which is ideal for keeping panels clear of the ground while maintaining a balanced overall fence height. They are often chosen as a decorative alternative to  plain concrete gravel boards , offering the same protection with a more refined appearance.

These gravel boards are suitable 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 rock faced concrete alternatives is a popular upgrade where longevity and appearance are priorities.

The neutral, stone-effect finish of rock faced concrete gravel boards complements a wide range of fencing styles, from feather edge panels to waney lap fencing. Whether used in modern gardens or traditional settings, they provide a practical solution that enhances the overall look of the fence.

In areas prone to damp ground or poor drainage, concrete gravel boards are particularly beneficial. By forming a solid barrier at ground level, they help protect panels from moisture exposure and reduce maintenance over time.

All rock faced 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 result once the fence is complete.

If you’re looking for a durable, low-maintenance gravel board that offers both protection and visual appeal, rock faced concrete gravel boards are a practical and reliable choice. Designed for long-term performance and compatibility with concrete fencing systems, they provide a strong and attractive foundation for a wide range of fencing projects.
