Timber Gravel Boards 6x1 | 150mm x 22mm x 4.8m (16ft) - Product Video
Tanalised Treated 16ft Gravel Boards have undergone an extensive treatment process to ensure deep penetration into the timber cells, this ensures longer-lasting protection against fungal decay and insect attack.
Pressure-treated timber is leach resistant, ensuring a long and trouble-free service life in a wide range of conditions, and assured performance in sensitive environments.
Gravel Board serves the specific purpose of being attached to the bottom of a garden fence to raise it to a desired height, when the ideal height cannot be achieved with standard fence panels. Gravel Boards can also be used to correct uneven ground surface. Another purpose for these versatile boards is to provide a layer of protection between your fence posts and panels and the ground, this prevents the bottom of the posts and panels from rot, decay and ground burrowing pests. This will make your fence much more durable and resilient to environmental stressors. This includes providing a solid base so that the fence stays in tact during turbulent weather conditions. Gravel Boards are the first step in the installation of a long-life and high-quality fence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I choose a 4.8m timber gravel board?
A 4.8m gravel board is ideal where you want long, continuous runs at the base of a fence with minimal joints, such as along driveways, long boundaries or commercial sites with extended bays.
What are the dimensions of this 4.8m gravel board?
The board measures approximately 150mm in height, 22mm in thickness and 4.8m in length. It is usually used where posts are spaced further apart or where a continuous visual base line is desired.
Is the 4.8m gravel board pressure treated?
Yes, boards intended for use as gravel boards are typically pressure treated against rot and insect attack. Check the specific treatment class in the product details, particularly if boards will be in frequent contact with moisture.
How should I support such a long gravel board?
Support the board at every fence post and at additional points if recommended by your fence design to reduce sagging or twisting. Fix securely using corrosion-resistant fixings or slot into compatible posts where applicable.
Can I cut a 4.8m board into shorter gravel boards?
Yes. You can cut it into multiple shorter boards to suit custom bay lengths or stepped ground. Always retreat any cut ends with end-grain preservative to maintain protection.
Is this board heavy to handle?
Due to its length, a 4.8m board will be heavier and more awkward to manoeuvre than shorter boards. It is usually best handled and installed by two people to avoid damage and ensure safe lifting.
Can a 4.8m gravel board be used for raised beds?
Yes, it can be used to form the sides of raised beds or planters, particularly where you want long, straight runs. Ensure adequate internal bracing and consider the height of soil being retained when designing the structure.
Does using a gravel board help reduce fence maintenance?
Using a gravel board keeps fence panels clear of the ground, reducing moisture uptake and decay at the bottom of the fence. This can significantly reduce long-term maintenance and replacement costs.
Can I treat or paint this gravel board after installation?
Yes. Once installed and dry, you can apply fence stain, paint or oil to match the rest of your fencing and provide extra weather protection. Always use products compatible with pressure-treated timber.
Is this gravel board suitable for professional fencing contractors?
Yes. The long length makes it particularly attractive for contractors working on larger runs where minimising joints and speeding up installation is a priority.
