12 Inch Recessed Concrete Gravel Board

Buy 12 Inch Recessed Concrete Gravel Board at East Coast Fencing

12 Inch Recessed Concrete Gravel Board is a durable base component for fencing, designed to lift timber panels clear of the ground and create a neat, consistent lower line along the fence run. The recessed face provides a clean, framed appearance while offering reliable protection against splashback, soil contact and moisture.

Engineered for long-term durability

Made from steel-reinforced concrete, this gravel board resists rot, insect attack and ground moisture—common issues that affect timber at the base of a fence. Its dense, weather-resistant composition ensures dependable performance through seasonal changes and demanding garden conditions.

Recessed face for a clean finish

The recessed profile forms a subtle shadow line beneath the panel, helping to disguise minor ground undulations and giving the fence a professional, finished look. It also creates a defined separation between soil and timber, which helps panels stay straighter for longer.

Purpose and function

Positioned at ground level between posts, a concrete gravel board acts as a sacrificial barrier that takes day-to-day impacts from strimmers, soil and mulch. By intercepting moisture and debris, it reduces maintenance on fence panels and simplifies future replacements.

Compatibility

• Fits standard slotted concrete fence posts for quick, secure installation.
• Suitable beneath closeboard, lap and many decorative panel styles.
• Works as a base course when mixing post types (e.g. concrete posts with timber panels).

Typical applications

• Boundary fencing: Establish a uniform base line that protects panels along entire runs.
• Panel upgrades: Add a robust base when renewing older fence sections.
• Uneven ground: Step boards at post positions to accommodate level changes neatly.

Installation guidance

• Set posts plumb and to line before placing the gravel board into the post slots.
• On sloping sites, step boards at each bay for a level, professional appearance.
• Use appropriate ground support and safe handling techniques—concrete components are heavy and typically require two-person lifting.

Low maintenance, consistent look

Concrete requires minimal upkeep—periodic rinsing to remove soil and debris is usually sufficient. The recessed finish pairs well with a wide range of panel styles, helping the entire fence read as a single, coherent installation from end to end.
