Description
Pressure-treated timber gravel boards for fence bases. Also known as wooden gravel boards or timber kick boards, they sit at the bottom of featheredge, closeboard and panel fencing to keep the main fence away from direct ground contact and give the run a clean base line.
Available timber gravel board sizes
| Board size | Approx. imperial section | Available lengths |
|---|---|---|
| 100 × 25mm | 4 × 1in | 2.4m (8ft), 3.6m (12ft), 4.8m (16ft) |
| 150 × 25mm | 6 × 1in | 1.8m (6ft), 2.4m (8ft), 3.6m (12ft), 4.8m (16ft) |
| 200 × 25mm | 8 × 1in | 4.8m (16ft) |
Imperial sizes are approximate references. Order and check suitability using the listed metric dimensions.
The 100mm board gives a shallower fence base, 150mm is a common all-round size for garden fencing, and 200mm gives a deeper base where more coverage is wanted.
Where are wooden gravel boards used?
Timber gravel boards are commonly used beneath featheredge boards, closeboard fencing and timber fence panels. They are also useful when replacing an existing timber base board while keeping the rest of the fence in place.
The boards are pressure treated for outdoor fencing use and can be cut to suit the run where required.
Complete the fence
For a built featheredge fence, combine the gravel board with suitable timber fence posts, fence rails, featheredge boards and 20kg rapid-set Postmix and fencing fixings. You can also use the Featheredge Fence Calculator to work out a complete material list.
