Concrete base panels that sit between posts to protect your fence from ground moisture and rot. Always in stock, ready to collect or deliver.
Concrete gravel boards are reinforced concrete panels that sit at the base of a fence, between the concrete fence posts, protecting timber panels from ground moisture and rot. They slot into the same slots as your fence panels, creating a solid, complete barrier that protects your wooden panels from ground moisture, mud splash, and standing water.
Without gravel boards, your fence panels sit low to the ground, where moisture wicks up from the soil and causes rot and decay. Gravel boards keep panels elevated and protected, extending the life of your fence significantly.
We always keep gravel boards in stock. They are harder to find locally than fence posts or slabs, which is why we make sure we have them ready to go when you need them. Browse our full range including concrete slabs and slotted concrete fence posts.
For advice on fence panel maintenance, the RHS fencing guide is a helpful resource.
Without a gravel board, wooden fence panels sit directly against the ground. Moisture from soil and rain splash works into the wood grain, causing rot from the bottom up. A concrete gravel board eliminates this entirely.
Fence panels without gravel boards typically last just 8 to 10 years before needing replacement. With a gravel board protecting the base, the same panels can last 15 to 20 years or more.
Replacing fence panels every decade is expensive and disruptive. A concrete gravel board is a one-off purchase that pays for itself many times over by keeping your panels dry and in good condition.
For most residential fence installations, a gravel board is not optional - it is the difference between a fence that lasts and one that does not. We recommend one with every set of posts and panels we supply.
Gravel boards keep panels elevated, stopping soil moisture and rain splash from damaging the wood. This is one of the most important steps in building a long-lasting fence.
A fence with gravel boards can last 20 to 25 years or more. Without them, you may be replacing panels in just 10 to 15 years. The investment pays for itself.
Our gravel boards match our fence posts perfectly, creating a clean, professional look from top to bottom. Everything works together as one system.
Gravel boards are often hard to find locally, but we always stock them. Collect from us near Gainsborough or we will deliver across South Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire, and North Nottinghamshire.
