Installation Systems

Traditional Timber System

Use with wooden fence posts, cant rails, and featheredge boards to build a classic closeboard fence. Attach the gravel board using galvanised fixings or timber screws for a secure, rot-resistant base.

Heavy-Duty Concrete System

Pair with concrete recessed posts and concrete gravel boards where maximum longevity is required. In this system, timber gravel boards can still be installed as a decorative facing in front of concrete boards or as an alternative where timber styling is preferred.

Materials related to “Gravel Board”

• Featheredge Boards – Tapered boards for building strong, overlapping closeboard fencing.

• Wooden Fence Posts – A traditional choice for timber fencing frameworks.

• Cant Rails – Horizontal supports used in closeboard fencing builds.

• Postcrete – Quick-setting concrete ideal for fixing posts securely.

• Post Saver Sleeves – Ground-level protection for wooden posts to prevent rot.

How do you install a wooden gravel board?

Timber gravel boards should be fixed securely at the base of your fence line, either nailed or screwed into wooden posts or rails. When using a concrete system, they can be positioned between recessed slots or surface-fixed in front for a traditional look. Ensure boards are level and allow a 150mm clearance from the ground up to feather edge boards for moisture prevention.
