Buy 3.0M x 150MM Wooden Gravel Board - Pressure Treated Brown at East Coast Fencing
3.0M x 150MM Wooden Gravel Board - Pressure Treated Brown is a practical base component for fencing, designed to raise timber panels off the ground and create a clean, continuous lower line along extended fence runs. Its longer 3.0m span minimises joints in the base course, while the brown pressure-treated finish provides reliable outdoor durability.
Protects panels at ground level
Installed between posts at the base of the fence, a wooden gravel board serves as a sacrificial barrier against soil contact, splashback and surface moisture. By absorbing day-to-day exposure at ground level, it helps panels remain straighter for longer and simplifies future maintenance or panel replacement.
Longer length for fewer joints
At 3.0m in length and 150mm in height, this board is ideal for long boundary runs. The extended span reduces the number of joints needed compared with 1.83m or 2.4m boards, improving visual continuity and speeding installation. The 150mm height provides effective separation from damp ground and helps achieve a neat datum across bays.
Brown pressure treatment
The timber is pressure treated with 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 coordinates naturally with treated posts, panels and sleepers and will mellow attractively as it weathers.
Where it’s used
- Extended fence lines: Establish a uniform base beneath closeboard, lap or decorative panels with fewer interruptions.
- Upgrades and refurbishments: Add a protective base when renewing older sections of fencing.
- Mixed systems: Suitable for use with timber or concrete posts and standard fixings.
Installation guidance
- Set posts plumb and to line first; use the gravel board to establish a consistent panel height.
- Fix securely to posts with exterior-grade fasteners; pre-drill near ends to minimise splitting.
- On sloping sites, step boards at post positions to maintain a tidy, level visual line.
- Seal any freshly cut ends with an appropriate end-grain preservative.
Low-maintenance performance
Routine care is straightforward: 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 refresh colour later, allow the timber to season before applying a compatible exterior wood finish.
Consistent look along the boundary
The brown treatment complements brown-treated panels, posts and caps. Using 3.0m lengths helps maintain a straight base line with fewer joints, tying the whole run together and improving transitions at corners and gateways.
