Buy 2.4M x 150MM Wooden Gravel Board - Pressure Treated Green at East Coast Fencing
2.4M x 150MM Wooden Gravel Board - Pressure Treated Green is a practical fencing component designed to raise timber panels off the ground and create a clean, consistent base line along extended fence runs. The green pressure-treated finish provides dependable outdoor durability while blending naturally with other garden timbers.
Protective base for fence panels
Installed at ground level between posts, a wooden gravel board forms a sacrificial barrier that shields fence panels from soil contact, splashback and surface moisture. By taking day-to-day exposure at the lowest point of the fence, it helps panels remain straighter for longer and simplifies future maintenance or replacement.
Sized for longer bays
At 2.4m in length and 150mm in height, this board spans further than standard 1.83m options, reducing the number of joints in the base course. Fewer joints produce a tidier visual line and can speed installation across lengthy runs, while the 150mm height provides generous separation from damp ground.
Green pressure treatment
The timber is pressure treated with a green preservative for lasting resistance to rot, fungal decay and insect attack. The treatment penetrates deep into the wood fibres, equipping the board for year-round exposure with reduced upkeep. Over time, the green hue weathers to a softer, natural tone without affecting protection.
Where it’s used
- Long boundary runs: Establish a uniform base beneath closeboard, lap or decorative panels with fewer joints.
- Refurbishments: Add a protective base when renewing older sections of fencing.
- Mixed systems: Compatible with timber or concrete posts and common fixing methods.
Installation guidance
- Set posts plumb and to line; 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 posts for a professional, even 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 after severe weather and clean occasionally to remove debris. If you wish to adjust colour later, allow the timber to season before applying a compatible exterior wood finish.
Consistent look along the boundary
The natural green treatment coordinates with green-treated posts, panels and sleepers. Using 2.4m lengths helps maintain a straight base line with fewer interruptions, tying the whole run together and improving transitions at corners and gateways.
