Gravel boards are the unsung heroes of any fencing installation. Sitting directly beneath the main fence panels, these sturdy boards act as a protective barrier between the damp ground and the timber above. By lifting the wood away from the soil, these boards prevent rot, decay, and water damage, significantly extending the lifespan of your fencing materials.
At CC Fencing, we install both concrete and treated timber gravel boards to suit the style and requirements of your garden. Because of their protective qualities, these boards are a standard feature in all our professional installations. We do not use outside contractors, meaning our experienced in-house team ensures every board is perfectly levelled and securely fitted.
Whether you are replacing a damaged base or planning a complete fencing installation, gravel boards are a smart investment. We use durable materials and construction methods to create a neat, defined boundary that keeps soil and gravel contained within your borders.
The Benefits of Gravel Boards on the Longevity of Your Fence
Hedgehog-Friendly Options
We are proud to offer boards with pre-cut hedgehog holes. These small gaps allow local wildlife to move safely between gardens while keeping your fence secure. This simple addition helps support the declining hedgehog population without compromising the strength of your boundary. Ask our specialists about this critter-friendly option!
How We Install Gravel Boards
Our process keeps the fencing line neat, supported, and ready for the panels to be fitted properly.
Preparing the Base Line
We start by setting the fence posts out correctly to suit the line of the boundary and the conditions on site. We clear the ground between the posts, ensuring a level surface for the boards to sit on.
Fitting the Boards
Once the posts are secure, we slide the concrete or timber boards into position. We carefully check the alignment and levels, making sure the boards sit flush against the ground to create a solid barrier.
Adding the Fence Panels
After the boards are securely in place, we install the main timber panels directly on top. This method ensures the wood is safely elevated away from damp soil and standing water.
