Are Gravel Boards Essential?

As they are not strictly necessary for every garden fence, installing gravel boards may initially appear to be an additional and unnecessary expense. However, they will actually save you money by increasing the durability of your fence in the long run. Not only do gravel boards close up any gaps at the bottom of your fence, but they also make it look neater and cleaner overall. Plus, you'll get the added benefit of complete privacy. They’re also great at preventing damage to your panels caused by: Lawn mowersStrimmersDigging/fork/spadeworkImpact damage from sports and ball games We understand that every customer has unique needs, so we make sure to stock a range of timber and concrete gravel boards in a variety of heights and lengths. Whether you're more concerned with making sure your fence is visually appealing or want it to last as long as possible, we have the right board for you.

How Long Does a Gravel Board Last?

The lifespan of a gravelboard depends largely on its composition. If it is made from untreated wood, then it will likely only last a few years before replacement is necessary. However, if high-quality pressure-treated wood was used, the gravelboard can reasonably last up to seven or eight years. Concrete gravel boards, on the other hand, are a whole different story. As concrete is largely resistant to damp and moisture, as long as it sustained no damage, these types of gravel boards could theoretically last a lifetime.
