A gravel board, also known as a timber or concrete board, is a horizontal barrier used in fencing or garden landscaping. It’s installed at the bottom of the fence or as a base for raised beds to prevent soil erosion and prolong the life of your fence panels. The gravel board acts as a barrier between the soil and the fence, preventing direct contact and minimising the risk of moisture damage. It also provides stability and keeps the fence panels level.
Before installing your gravel boards, ensure the ground underneath is well compacted and levelled. Adding a layer of compacted hardcore or crushed stone underneath can provide additional stability. Using concrete or metal support posts instead of wood can also help prevent sinking. Finally, regularly inspect and maintain the gravel boards, replacing any damaged or weakened sections promptly.
The lifespan of wooden gravel boards can vary depending on factors such as the quality of the wood and its exposure to moisture. On average, wooden gravel boards can last anywhere from 5 to 20 years. Concrete gravel boards, on the other hand, have a longer lifespan, typically lasting between 20 to 30 years. Moisture levels play a significant role in the durability of both types of gravel boards, as excessive moisture can lead to rotting or decay.
