Buy 2.4M x 150MM Wooden Gravel Board - Pressure Treated Brown at East Coast Fencing
2.4M x 150MM Wooden Gravel Board - Pressure Treated Brown is a practical fencing component designed to raise timber panels off the ground and establish a clean, consistent base line along longer fence runs. The brown pressure-treated finish provides reliable outdoor durability while coordinating with other timber elements.
Protective base for fence panels
Installed between posts at ground level, a wooden gravel board forms a sacrificial barrier that shields panels from soil contact, splashback and surface moisture. By taking day-to-day exposure at the bottom of the fence, it helps panels remain straighter over time and simplifies future maintenance or replacement.
Sized for extended bays
At 2.4m in length and 150mm in height, this board spans longer sections than standard 1.83m options, reducing joints in the base course for a tidier visual line. The 150mm height provides generous separation from damp ground and helps accommodate small variations in terrain across the run.
Brown pressure treatment
The timber is pressure treated in a brown preservative for resistance to rot, fungal decay and insect attack. The treatment penetrates deeply into the fibres, equipping the board for year-round exposure with reduced upkeep. The warm brown tone blends naturally with treated posts, panels and sleepers and will mellow attractively as it weathers.
Where it’s used
- Long boundary runs: Create a uniform base with fewer joints beneath closeboard, lap or decorative panels.
- Refurbishments: Add a protective base when renewing or upgrading older fence lines.
- Mixed systems: Works with timber or concrete posts and common panel types.
Installation guidance
- Set posts plumb and to line first; use the gravel board to establish a consistent datum for panel height.
- Fix securely to posts with exterior-grade fasteners; pre-drill near ends to minimise splitting.
- On sloping ground, step boards at post positions for a professional appearance.
- Treat 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 following severe weather, and clean occasionally to remove debris. If a refreshed colour is desired later, allow the timber to season before applying a compatible exterior finish.
Visual consistency across the boundary
The brown treatment coordinates with brown-treated panels, posts and caps. Using 2.4m lengths helps maintain a straight base line with fewer joints, tying the whole run together and improving transitions at corners and gateways.
