Gravel boards are an often-missed but important part of any fence project. These strong panels sit at the bottom of your fence to protect both posts and panels from dirt, stones and moisture.

What is a Gravel Board?

A gravel board is a horizontal panel fixed along the bottom of a fence to protect it from ground moisture, soil, and debris. Usually made from tough materials such as wood or concrete, fence base panels prevent soil and stones from coming into direct contact with fence posts and panels. This guard helps cut the risk of rot and damage, adding years to the life and strength of your fencing structure.

Why Choose Gravel Boards?

Choosing the right fencing baseboard is vital for your fence’s lifespan and appearance. Here are six key reasons to use gravel barrier boards in your project:
