Pressure-treated means the timber has been treated with preservatives forced deep into the wood under high pressure. This process significantly enhances its resistance to rot, decay, and insect attack, extending its lifespan.
Yes, they are suitable for use when erecting fencing across a slope. They can be installed to follow the contour of the ground.
The TAFS Treated Sawn Timber Gravel Board comes with a 15-year anti-rot guarantee.
The dimensions are 1828mm in length, 150mm in height, and 22mm in thickness (approximately 6ft x 6 inches x 0.87 inches).
They are manufactured in the UK.
Yes, the timber is FSC® certified, indicating it comes from responsibly managed forests.
While treated for durability, you can clean it with a damp cloth. For aesthetic purposes, you can apply a compatible timber treatment or stain every few years.
Ensure the gravel board is correctly installed, creating a sufficient gap between the board and the ground to allow for airflow and drainage. Check for any pooling water around the base.
Use exterior-grade screws or nails suitable for treated timber. Pre-drilling pilot holes can help prevent splitting, especially near the ends of the board.
Verify that the gravel board is the primary barrier and that no other ground contact points exist. Contact TAFS customer support if rot appears within the 15-year guarantee period.
Setup: The gravel board is designed to be fixed to the base of timber fence panels. Typically, this involves positioning the board horizontally at the bottom of the fence, ensuring it is slightly proud of the ground to prevent direct soil contact. Secure the gravel board to the fence posts and/or the bottom of the fence panel using appropriate exterior-grade screws or nails.
Compatibility: This gravel board is specifically designed for use with standard timber fence panels and posts. Its dimensions (1828 x 150 x 22mm) make it compatible with most 6ft fence panels.
Care: While pressure-treated for rot resistance, occasional maintenance can prolong its appearance and lifespan. Clean the boards periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. For prolonged aesthetic appeal, a timber treatment or stain can be applied every few years, ensuring it is compatible with treated timber.
