About this item:
Base Panels, also commonly referred to as Concrete Gravel Boards, are an essential component in fencing systems. Designed to sit at the bottom of your fence panels, these durable concrete panels protect wooden fences from ground contact, which is the primary cause of premature rot, decay, and insect infestation. By lifting your fence panels off the ground, they extend the lifespan of your fencing investment while offering a neat and professional appearance.
Key Features:
• Durable reinforced concrete construction for long-term performance
• Smooth, plain face design for a clean, modern finish
• Protects timber fence panels from rot, damp, and ground contact
• Compatible with standard slotted concrete fence posts
• Available in a range of sizes to suit different fencing requirements
• Manufactured to BS EN Standards for concrete strength and durability
• Low-maintenance and weather-resistant for all year-round protection
Common Questions:
Q: Can these gravel boards be used with wooden posts?
A: While they are primarily designed for use with slotted concrete fence posts, some customers use them creatively with wooden posts. However, for optimal performance and longevity, we recommend using concrete posts.
Q: Do Plain Face Base Panels require any maintenance?
A: No, they are made from high-quality reinforced concrete, which is weatherproof, rot-resistant, and maintenance-free.
Q: How are gravel boards installed?
A: Gravel boards simply slot into place between concrete posts beneath the fence panel. For more complex installations, we recommend seeking professional advice.
Q: Why choose concrete over timber gravel boards?
A: Concrete gravel boards significantly outlast timber alternatives. They are impervious to moisture, insects, and rot, providing a solid, long-lasting base for your fence.
Q: Why choose a Rock Face design over Plain Face? A: The Rock Face design offers added aesthetic value, creating a more decorative and textured finish compared to the smooth Plain Face option, while still providing the same structural benefits.
