Wooden Gravel Boards

If you want a fence that lasts, use timber gravel boards! These boards are typically placed at the base of your fence, where they provide an essential layer of protection for the fence panels. At Timberstore, we understand the importance of using the right materials when building a fence. That’s why we offer a range of high-quality wooden gravel boards that are designed to withstand even the toughest outdoor conditions.

Made from quality timber, our gravel boards are designed to provide a protective base for your fence, helping to reduce direct contact with the ground and extend the life of your panels and posts. A variety of sizes and finishes are available, so you can find the best match for your wooden fence panels and timber posts to design the perfect fencing for your property!

Concrete Gravel Boards

Concrete gravel boards are perfect for areas with high moisture levels or where ground contact is a concern. They create an impenetrable barrier that prevents rot, decay, and pests from compromising your fence’s integrity. Our concrete gravel boards are the ultimate choice for those who prioritise durability and resilience. These boards offer exceptional protection and support to your fencing, withstanding harsh weather conditions and the passage of time, ensuring your fence stays standing tall for years to come. At Timberstore, we offer a variety of sizes and styles to complement your fencing project, making it both strong and visually appealing.

Composite Gravel Boards

Composite gravel boards provide a modern, durable alternative to timber and concrete. Made in the UK with a textured grain finish and available in a choice of four colours and two lengths, they are lightweight yet strong, easy to handle, and resistant to common issues such as rot, warping, or cracking.

Not only do they provide a sleek finish and excellent protection as a base for your fences, but they can also be cut to size and used seamlessly with other fencing components. We also offer reinforcement bars for Dura gravel boards.

Timber, Concrete, and Composite Gravel Boards FAQ

How Strong Are Concrete Gravel Boards?

Concrete gravel boards are naturally very durable, and with proper care, they can easily last decades! As long as you regularly clean the boards and perform frequent checkups for signs of cracks or moisture damage, the boards will maintain their form and visual appeal!

Are Concrete Gravel Boards Heavy?

Yes, concrete gravel boards are heavier than their timber counterparts, which can make them more challenging to handle during installation. However, their weight also makes them sturdy, reliable, and less likely to shift once in place. While concrete has traditionally been the most durable option, composite gravel boards are now a popular alternative, offering strength without the same difficulties.

Timber vs Concrete vs Composite – Which Should I Choose?

• Timber gravel boards are lighter, easier to install, and blend naturally with wooden fence panels, though they will require more maintenance over time.
• Concrete gravel boards are strong, durable, and low-maintenance, but they are very heavy and can be harder to work with.
• Composite gravel boards provide a modern middle ground: lightweight yet strong, resistant to rot and warping, and available in a range of colours with a textured finish. They are also recyclable and more transport-efficient, making them an eco-friendly choice.

Ultimately, the right option depends on your priorities — whether you prefer the traditional look of timber, the proven durability of concrete, or the lightweight, low-maintenance benefits of composite.

Which Is the Easiest to Maintain?

Composite gravel boards are the easiest to maintain, as they do not require painting, staining, or treatment and are naturally resistant to rot and warping. Concrete also needs little maintenance, but should be checked occasionally for cracks. Timber gravel boards need more regular care – such as treatment or replacement in case of rot – to keep them in good condition, but they are the most affordable. They are also the most popular choice at Timberstore.

Which Will Last Longest?

Concrete and composite gravel boards typically offer the longest lifespan. Concrete can last for decades with minimal care, although it may crack over time. Composite boards are engineered to resist moisture and decay, providing long-term durability with very little maintenance. Timber boards can last many years too, but they are more vulnerable to weathering and ground contact, so generally have a shorter lifespan unless well maintained.
