6 Inch Smooth Concrete Gravel Board

Buy 6 Inch Smooth Concrete Gravel Board at East Coast Fencing

6 Inch Smooth Concrete Gravel Board is a robust fencing base component designed to lift timber panels off the ground and form a clean, continuous lower line along the fence run. The smooth-faced finish provides a crisp, modern appearance while delivering dependable protection against splashback, soil contact and ground moisture.

Long-lasting, low-maintenance construction

Manufactured from steel-reinforced concrete, this gravel board is rot-proof, insect-proof and highly resistant to weathering. Unlike timber at ground level, concrete is unaffected by prolonged damp conditions, helping your fence maintain alignment and stability over many years with minimal upkeep.

Smooth profile for a neat base detail

The plain, smooth face gives an uncluttered look that pairs well with both contemporary and traditional timber panels. It creates a sharp visual datum at the bottom of the fence, helping to disguise minor ground undulations and improving the overall presentation of the boundary.

Purpose and performance

Installed between posts at ground level, the gravel board acts as a sacrificial barrier that absorbs day-to-day knocks from strimmers, soil and mulch. By separating timber panels from damp ground, it reduces swelling and decay risk at the panel’s lower edge, simplifies future panel replacement and contributes to a longer service life for the fence.

Compatibility

• Designed to slot into standard slotted concrete fence posts for fast installation.
• Suitable beneath closeboard, lap and many decorative timber panel styles.
• Works as a base course in mixed systems (e.g. concrete posts with timber panels and timber capping).

Dimensions and handling

With a height of 6 inches (approx. 150mm), the board lifts panels clear of wet ground and splashback while keeping the base line discreet. Concrete components are heavy; plan for safe handling—typically two-person lifting—and ensure a stable working area during installation.

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 to keep the visual line neat and level.
• Brush away soil and debris periodically to keep the base detail clean.
