Full Description

6 Inch Concrete Gravel Board 

This 6 inch recessed concrete gravel board is designed to create a strong, low-maintenance base for your panel fencing system. Measuring 50mm thick, 150mm high and 1830mm long, it is constructed from steel-reinforced concrete for maximum strength and durability. By lifting fence panels off the ground, it protects them from rot, decay and moisture damage, extending the life of your fence.

The recessed finish allows panels to sit neatly between concrete fence posts, ensuring a secure and professional fit. Sized to suit standard 6ft wide fence panels, this gravel board adds both structural support and a clean finish to your garden boundary.

Benefits and Uses

A 6 inch gravel board offers protection while keeping your fence line closer to ground level than a taller option. This makes it ideal where you want a solid base without significantly increasing the height of your fence. It also helps prevent soil contact, garden debris build-up, and damage from lawn maintenance, making it suitable for both domestic gardens and commercial sites.

How Do You Install a 6 Inch Concrete Gravel Board?

Begin by digging post holes to a depth of approximately 2ft (60cm) and setting your concrete fence posts into position with Postcrete. Once the posts are level and secure, slide the 6 inch recessed gravel board into the slots at the base. Position your chosen fence panel above the gravel board to complete the section. This method provides a strong, level base and protects your fencing from premature damage. For full instructions, see our How to Install Closeboard Panels guide.
