Product Information

Full details

The Snowdon Timber 6x1 Gravel Board is ideal for homeowners and landscapers looking to extend the lifespan of their fencing by creating a durable, rot-resistant barrier between fence panels and the soil. Measuring 1.8 meters in length, these boards provide a robust foundation for various garden structures, though users should note that they require manual cutting or adjustments if used for spans shorter than the standard 1800mm length.

FAQs

Can I use these for raised vegetable beds?

Yes, they are suitable for raised beds, though some gardeners prefer to line the inside with a waterproof membrane to further protect the timber.

Does the board need painting?

It is pressure-treated for longevity, so painting is optional and primarily for aesthetic purposes.

What tools do I need to cut these?

A standard hand saw or circular saw is sufficient for cutting these boards to size.

Can I attach these directly to concrete posts?

Yes, you can use specialized gravel board clips designed to slide into the grooves of concrete fence posts.

Are these boards environmentally safe?

The pressure treatment used meets industry standards for outdoor timber; however, you should avoid burning off-cuts in open fires.

How heavy is each board?

Due to the 22mm thickness and treatment process, they are substantial; handle with care to avoid strain.

Troubleshooting

Board warping or bowing

Ensure the board is securely fastened at both ends and in the center if the span exceeds standard dimensions.

Splintering at the edges

Lightly sand the splintered area and re-apply a protective exterior wood stain or preservative.

Difficulty fitting into fence brackets

Verify the bracket size; if the board is slightly too wide due to moisture expansion, allow it to dry in a shaded area before attempting installation again.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High resistance to rot and fungal decay due to pressure treatment
  • Sturdy 22mm thickness prevents warping under typical garden conditions
  • Compatible with most standard fence panel widths
  • Versatile for uses beyond fencing, such as raised beds or path edging

Cons

  • Requires professional-grade wood preservative if cut ends are exposed
  • Heavy due to solid timber construction
  • Standard 1.8m length may require off-cuts for smaller garden segments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure your fence posts are set at an 1800mm interval to match the board length. When cutting the board, always apply a high-quality timber end-grain preservative to the freshly exposed wood to maintain its protective integrity. While the boards are pressure-treated, avoid installing them in areas where they will be permanently submerged in standing water, as this will accelerate wear regardless of the treatment. Periodically check for any loose fixings or signs of splintering to ensure the structure remains secure over time.
