The Snowdon Timber Treated Gravel Board is an essential component for DIY enthusiasts and landscapers looking to protect timber fence panels from ground-level moisture and decay. Measuring 22mm thick, 150mm wide, and 3.6m in length, this board provides a robust barrier that elevates fencing, significantly extending its structural lifespan. While it offers superior durability and stability compared to standard 4x1 boards, users should be prepared for the physical labor involved in cutting and installing these heavy-duty treated timbers to fit specific garden dimensions.

Yes, their pressure-treated nature and 22mm thickness make them suitable for edging or frame support in decking projects.
A standard hand saw or circular saw will cut through the timber easily. Always remember to treat the freshly cut end with a wood preservative.
While the treatment is safe for general landscaping, it is generally recommended to use untreated or specifically food-safe timber if you are building raised beds for edible plants.
The 22mm thickness provides superior structural stability and resistance to impact, making it less likely to warp or break under pressure compared to thinner, standard boards.
They are pre-treated and do not require immediate painting. However, applying a stain can improve aesthetics and provide an extra layer of UV protection.
Ensure the board is securely fastened to the fence posts at both ends and in the center to prevent movement during temperature changes.
Apply a high-quality end-grain wood preservative immediately after cutting to reseal the exposed fibers.
Installation requires standard woodworking tools, including a circular saw or hand saw for cutting, and galvanized screws or nails to prevent rusting. Ensure the ground is level before placement to provide an even base for the fence panels above.
Regarding care, while the pressure treatment is highly effective, the wood will naturally weather over time. To maintain its appearance and longevity, it is advised to apply an outdoor wood stain or preservative once every few years. When cutting the board, always wear a dust mask and goggles, as the treatment chemicals can be an irritant.
