Buy 1.83M x 150MM Wooden Gravel Board - Pressure Treated Brown at East Coast Fencing
1.83M x 150MM Wooden Gravel Board - Pressure Treated Brown is a practical fencing component designed to lift timber panels clear of the ground and create a neat, consistent base line along your run. Its brown pressure-treated finish provides long-lasting outdoor performance while blending naturally with other timber elements in the garden.
Purpose-built protection at the base of your fence
Installed between posts at ground level, a wooden gravel board forms a sacrificial barrier that shields fence panels from splashback, soil contact and surface water. By taking the brunt of day-to-day exposure, it helps panels remain straighter for longer and simplifies future maintenance or panel replacement.
Dimensions that suit standard bays
At 1.83m long and 150mm high, this gravel board aligns with common 6ft bay widths and offers generous height to separate timber from damp ground. The size supports a clean visual line, especially when used across multiple bays, and helps accommodate slight variations in ground level for a tidier finish.
Brown pressure treatment for durability
The timber is pressure treated in a rich brown preservative to provide reliable resistance against rot, fungal decay and insect attack. This treatment equips the board for year-round use, reducing upkeep compared to untreated timber. Over time, the colour softens naturally while protection remains.
Where and how to use
- Boundary fencing: Create a uniform base that protects panels along entire runs.
- Panel replacements: Add protection when renewing sections of an existing fence.
- Decorative edging: Finish the bottom line neatly beneath closeboard, lap or decorative panels.
- Mixed-material runs: Pair with timber or concrete posts; compatible with capping and standard fixings.
Installation tips
- Set posts true and level first; use the gravel board to “datum” panel height along the run.
- Fix securely to posts with exterior-grade fasteners; pre-drill near ends for best results.
- On sloping ground, step boards at post positions for a professional, consistent look.
- Seal any freshly cut ends with an appropriate end-grain preservative.
Low-maintenance performance
Routine care is minimal: keep soil and mulch from building up against the face, check fixings after heavy weather, and clean occasionally to remove debris. If you plan to refresh colour in future, allow the timber to season and use a compatible exterior wood finish.
Design coherence across the boundary
The warm brown tone complements brown-treated fence panels, posts and sleepers. Repeating this finish along the base line ties the whole boundary together and helps transitions into gates or hard landscaping feel intentional and tidy.
