This 1.83m x 150mm timber gravel board is made to sit at the bottom of a fence run and protect the panel above it. It helps reduce the constant damp and splashback that can damage the lowest boards of a panel, and it also gives a cleaner, more finished look along the base of the fence. It is pressure treated and finished brown for outdoor use, with a 150mm height and a 22mm thickness.
The 1.83m length is a common match for standard fencing bays, so it is a sensible choice for full runs and for straightforward replacements. It is also easier to handle than longer lengths, which can be useful for tight access gardens or where you are working alone. If you are repairing an existing fence, check the gap between posts and whether the old board was fitted flush to the ground or slightly raised.
Installation is typically between posts, right at the base, with the fence panel sitting on top. Try to keep the gravel board a touch above the soil if the ground allows. This helps airflow and drying. On sloping gardens, stepping boards and panels in planned stages usually gives the neatest result and keeps fixings square.
Fix into timber fence posts using exterior grade screws or nails. Make sure the board sits straight before you fully tighten everything, as a straight top edge makes panel fitting much easier. If you are using rails, adding an extra fixing point through a rail can help keep the bottom edge from moving.
If you need to cut the board, protect the cut end grain before fitting. If you want a tougher base where the fence gets knocked or where the ground stays wet, concrete boards can be worth considering.
