Full Description

12 Inch Concrete Gravel Board 

This 12 inch recessed concrete gravel board is the perfect choice for creating a strong, long-lasting base for your panel fencing system. At 50mm thick, 300mm high and 1830mm long, it is built from high-strength steel-reinforced concrete, making it resistant to rot, decay, and the harsh effects of weather. By lifting wooden fence panels off the ground, it prevents moisture damage and prolongs the life of your fencing.

The recessed face allows panels to sit neatly between concrete fence posts, creating a smooth, professional appearance. Designed to fit standard 6ft wide fence panels, this board adds both structural stability and a clean, modern finish to your garden boundary.

Benefits and Uses

Installing a recessed concrete gravel board ensures your fence panels remain protected from direct ground contact, reducing the risk of rot and minimising maintenance. The added height offers extra privacy and acts as a solid barrier against soil movement or garden debris. This makes it ideal for both domestic gardens and commercial boundaries where long-term durability is essential.

How Do You Install a 12 Inch Concrete Gravel Board?

Start by digging post holes to a depth of around 2ft (60cm) and setting your concrete fence posts into place with Postcrete. Once secure, slide the gravel board into the post slots at ground level before adding your chosen fence panel above. This method provides a stable, long-lasting fence line and a neat, level finish.
