What is the 6" Recessed Concrete Gravel Board?

This 6-inch (150mm) Recessed Concrete Gravel Board is a robust, steel-reinforced concrete board designed to fit standard UK fence bays. It features a recessed channel running along its top edge, designed to securely receive and support the bottom edge of standard timber fence panels.

It provides a durable, rot-proof, and level foundation that elevates timber panels clear of direct ground contact. This elevation is crucial for significantly protecting the fence panels from ground moisture, soil, and debris, thereby prolonging their lifespan and ensuring a neat, well-defined, and lasting finish to your fence line.

Featuring four recessed panels, these 6" boards seamlessly integrate with various linear garden styles and designs. They can be easily inserted into concrete posts or affixed to timber posts using gravel board brackets.

Highly versatile, these concrete gravel boards are compatible with feather-edge, overlap, and waney-edge fence panels.

Applications

  • Providing a protective and aesthetically pleasing base for most types of timber fence panels (lap panels, featheredge, closeboard, decorative panels) in domestic garden boundaries.
  • Creating well-defined and durable fence lines along property perimeters.
  • Preventing soil, decorative gravel, or bark chippings from garden beds from spilling under the fence.
  • Facilitating easier garden maintenance along fence lines.
  • Adding a subtle lift to fence panels, potentially increasing the overall fence height slightly.
  • Suitable for use in conjunction with pre-slotted concrete fence posts for a complete, long-lasting fencing system.


Installation Considerations

  • With Slotted Concrete Posts: This is the most common method. The ends of the recessed gravel board simply slide into the corresponding vertical slots in the concrete posts. The fence panel is then slotted in above it, with its bottom edge resting securely within the gravel board's recess.
  • With Timber Posts: The gravel board can be positioned between timber posts and secured using galvanised metal gravel board brackets screwed to the posts, or by setting the timber posts in concrete such that they firmly clamp the gravel board.
  • Ground Preparation: Ensure the ground beneath the gravel board is level and firm. For maximum stability, especially in softer ground, the gravel board can be bedded on a lean-mix concrete foundation or well-compacted hardcore.
  • Levelling: Use a spirit level to ensure each gravel board is perfectly horizontal. This is crucial for achieving a level fence line.


Benefits 
  • Superior Panel Protection: The recessed design offers enhanced shielding for the bottom edge of timber fence panels compared to plain gravel boards.
  • Prolongs Fence Lifespan: By preventing direct ground contact, it significantly extends the life of wooden fence panels by minimising rot and moisture damage.
  • Extremely Durable Concrete Construction: Manufactured from steel-reinforced concrete for maximum strength, ensuring it will not rot, warp, rust, or be affected by pests.
  • Maintenance-Free: Requires no painting, staining, or preservative treatments throughout its lifespan, unlike timber alternatives.
  • Standard UK Sizing: 1.83m (6ft) length fits standard fence bays. 
  • Clean & Professional Finish: Provides a smart, defined edge at the base of the fence, improving the overall appearance.
  • Versatile Compatibility: Designed for use with both slotted concrete fence posts and timber fence posts (with appropriate fixing methods).
  • Improved Panel Stability: The recessed channel helps to hold the panel more securely.
