About this item:
Rock Face Base Panels, commonly referred to as Concrete Gravel Boards with a Rock Face Design, are specifically manufactured to enhance the visual appeal of fencing systems while providing vital protection to timber fence panels. Unlike standard plain gravel boards, the rock face texture offers a decorative, stone-effect finish, giving fences a more attractive and premium appearance.
These heavy-duty, reinforced concrete panels are designed to sit at the base of your fence, preventing timber panels from coming into direct contact with the ground. This helps to protect against water damage, rot, and insect infestation, all of which can lead to premature fence failure.
Ideal for both domestic and commercial fencing projects, Rock Face Base Panels combine durability with decorative value. They are commonly used with concrete slotted posts and timber fence panels to create fencing solutions that are as strong as they are stylish.

• Decorative rock face finish for a premium, stone-effect appearance

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.
