Buy 3.0M x 150MM Wooden Gravel Board - Pressure Treated Green at East Coast Fencing
3.0M x 150MM Wooden Gravel Board - Pressure Treated Green is a practical fencing base component designed to lift timber panels off the ground and establish a clean, continuous lower line along extended fence runs. Its longer 3.0m span reduces joints in the base course, while the green pressure treatment provides reliable durability for year-round outdoor exposure.
Protects panels at ground level
Installed between posts at the foot of the fence, a wooden gravel board acts as a sacrificial barrier against soil contact, splashback and surface moisture. By absorbing day-to-day exposure where it is most severe, it helps panels stay straighter for longer and simplifies future maintenance or panel replacement.
Longer length for cleaner runs
At 3.0m in length and 150mm in height, this board is well suited to long boundary lines. The extended span reduces the number of joints compared with 1.83m or 2.4m alternatives, improving visual continuity and potentially speeding installation across lengthy bays. The 150mm height provides effective separation from damp ground and helps create a neat datum along the fence.
Green pressure treatment
The timber is pressure treated with a green preservative for long-lasting resistance to rot, fungal decay and insect attack. The treatment penetrates deep into the fibres, equipping the board for sustained outdoor use with reduced upkeep. Over time, the green tone weathers to a softer, natural shade without affecting protective performance.
Where it’s used
- Extended fence lines: Form a uniform base beneath closeboard, lap or decorative panels with fewer interruptions.
- Refurbishments: Add a protective base when upgrading older sections of fencing.
- Mixed systems: Compatible with timber or concrete posts and standard panel fixings.
Installation guidance
- Set posts plumb and to line; 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 ground, step boards at post positions for a professional, even appearance.
- Treat any freshly cut ends with an appropriate end-grain preservative to maintain protection.
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 3.0m lengths helps maintain a straight base line with fewer joints, tying the whole run together and improving transitions at corners and gateways.
