Concrete Gravel Boards (1800mm × 300mm)

Description

The strongest possible base for your fence line, a concrete gravel board that protects your panels from ground moisture and will never rot. Ready to fit, for gardens across Ireland.

Why Choose Concrete Gravel Boards?

The base of a fence is where the damage starts — ground moisture, soil splash, and rain all take their toll on the timber sitting lowest. The concrete gravel board is the permanent solution: an 1800mm × 300mm plain board that sits beneath your main fence panels, protecting them from ground contact for a lifetime. Where timber gravel boards eventually rot and need replacing, a concrete board simply does its job year after year — no rot, no treatment, no fuss.

Key benefits
– Concrete construction — the strongest, longest-lasting base for any fence
– Protects main fence panels from ground moisture and soil contact
– Never rots, warps, or decays — a permanent base that needs no treatment
– Clean, plain surface — a smart, uniform base to any fence line
– Standard 1800mm width matching your fence panels
– 300mm height — the classic gravel board proportion

What Makes a Concrete Gravel Board Better Than Timber?

A timber gravel board does the job for a while; a concrete board does it for good. Ground moisture and soil contact break down timber over time — the very conditions a gravel board sits in — but concrete is unaffected by either. It sits in the damp and the splash, season after season, and simply stays as it is. That’s the real value: you fit it once, and you never replace it.

The plain, flat surface is the other practical advantage — easy to keep clean, no paint or treatment required, and it gives the base of a fence a clean, uniform line that looks smart in both contemporary and traditional settings.

Where Would I Use a Concrete Gravel Board?

– Under a run of closeboard or featheredge panels for a permanent, protected base
– Beneath contemporary horizontal or lattice panels to complete the fence line
– Along any boundary where the panels need lifting clear of ground moisture
– In place of timber gravel boards where you want a base that never needs replacing
– Between concrete ‘H’ posts for a fully low-maintenance fence build

Caragh’s Garden Notebook

Concrete gravel boards are the quiet workhorses of a well-built fence — they sit at the bottom, out of sight, doing the job that timber can’t do forever. In the damp conditions of an Irish garden, a timber gravel board will eventually rot and need replacing; the concrete board won’t. That’s the simple arithmetic that makes them the right choice for a fence you build to last. Fit them between your posts at the base of the run, sit your main panels on top of them, and the panels stay clear of the soil and moisture that start rot. They work beautifully with our precast concrete ‘H’ posts, where you get a fully low-maintenance base to the whole boundary — and they pair just as well with timber posts for a more traditional build. One visit to our landscape centre can sort the complete base of your fence line and everything above it.
