This lightweight 12 inch rebated concrete gravel board is a 6ft (1.83m) concrete base board designed for fencing systems that specifically require a rebated profile. It is 12 inches (305mm) high and approximately 45 to 55mm deep, combining a substantial base height with a lightweight design intended to make handling more manageable than a conventional concrete board.
The rebate is the important feature to check before ordering. This board should not be treated as a universal replacement for every smooth or recessed gravel board. Confirm that the posts, supports and fence arrangement you are working with are intended to accept a rebated concrete gravel board before buying, particularly when replacing part of an existing fence.
Once installed, the board sits beneath the fence panel and separates the timber from the ground. The 305mm concrete section takes the direct exposure to damp soil, splashback and low-level garden wear rather than leaving the bottom of the timber panel in that position. The board is steel reinforced and vibration finished.
Because it is 12 inches high, allow for the gravel board when selecting the fence panel above and when setting the required finished height. Check the actual bay width as well as the profile before installation. Concrete components depend on accurate setting out, and a 1.83m board is not intended to be casually trimmed to compensate for incorrectly positioned posts.
This product is best chosen because you specifically need the lightweight rebated format. If your fence uses a conventional slotted arrangement or a different profile, compare the alternatives within our concrete gravel boards range rather than assuming the boards are interchangeable.
