Concrete gravel boards
At Allen Concrete, we understand the importance of creating long-lasting, durable concrete fencing solutions that provide security and an appealing aesthetic for outdoor spaces. Our range of concrete gravel boards is designed to meet the needs of fencing contractors, stockists, and builders merchants, offering reliable performance with minimal maintenance. Designed to work alongside our slotted fence posts if you’re looking for enhanced protection for timber fencing or a complete product offering to your customer base, our concrete gravel boards are the ideal choice.
Solid concrete gravel boards
These straightforward, smooth gravel boards provide a clean look that complements any fencing style. These gravel boards are designed to be used for fence panel applications. They are a popular choice for both residential and commercial fencing, offering a neutral base that blends well with different types of timber panels.
Recessed concrete gravel boards
In comparison to the more traditional solid gravel board, our recessed gravel boards are approximately 30% lighter, due to the recessed profile. They are very popular with fencing contractors and installers as they are so much easier to handle and install.
Rockface concrete gravel boards
For a more textured and decorative finish, our rockface gravel boards mimic the appearance of natural stone. They provide a visually appealing foundation for fences, adding character to gardens, outdoor spaces, or boundary lines.
Standard concrete gravel boards
Our standard gravel boards are used with our morticed and recessed posts and are flat on all four sides. These are available in 5 lengths ranging from 1885mm (6’2″) to 3 metres long (9’10”).
Wildlife-friendly gravel boards
Our hedgehog-friendly panels sit easily under fencing panels, allowing hedgehogs and other wildlife to roam from garden to garden. Building merchants and trade stockists now find that hedgehog-friendly gravel boards are increasingly in demand. Housing Associations are encouraging developers and builders to continually make improvements with responsible and ethical construction and development.
Where and how concrete gravel boards are used
Gravel boards are used at the base of a fence panel to protect it from contact with the ground. Installing gravel boards helps to prevent rot and decay in timber fence panels by raising them off the soil and reducing direct moisture exposure. This not only extends the lifespan of the fence but also ensures that the fencing remains structurally sound and visually appealing for many years.
Our concrete gravel boards are compatible with a wide range of fence posts and panels, making them versatile enough for use in residential, commercial, or agricultural settings. They are especially popular in areas where damp conditions may threaten the longevity of timber fencing, offering a practical solution to avoid costly replacements.
Benefits of concrete gravel boards
Durability
Concrete gravel boards are significantly more durable than their timber counterparts. Unlike wood, concrete does not rot, warp, or succumb to insect damage, making it an excellent choice for long-term fencing projects.
Low maintenance
One of the key benefits of using concrete gravel boards is their low maintenance requirement. Once installed, they do not need painting, staining, or frequent replacement, saving both time and money.
Enhanced protection
By lifting timber panels off the ground, concrete gravel boards protect fencing from moisture, pests, and soil contact, significantly extending the timber panels’ life.
Versatile design
Our range of gravel boards is designed to complement a variety of fencing styles, providing a flexible and aesthetically pleasing solution. Whether you prefer a modern, clean finish or a more traditional, textured look, Allen Concrete has the right gravel board for your customers.
Strength
Reinforced with steel, our concrete gravel boards offer exceptional strength. They are capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions and heavy loads, making them ideal for use in areas prone to high winds or challenging climates.
