Product Information

Full details

The Klikstrom Wood Gravel Board in green is designed for homeowners and landscapers looking to extend the lifespan of their timber fencing. By creating a sturdy barrier between your fence panels and the damp ground, it effectively prevents rot caused by soil contact and moisture splashback. While this board provides essential structural protection and a polished aesthetic, it requires careful alignment during installation to ensure the fence line remains level.

FAQs

Does the green colour fade over time?

Yes, as with all pressure-treated timber, the green tint may fade to a greyish tone due to UV exposure, but the protective treatment remains effective.

Can I cut this board to a custom length?

Yes, it can be cut easily using standard woodworking tools.

How often should I treat the wood?

While pressure-treated, applying a high-quality exterior wood preservative every 2-3 years will extend its lifespan further.

Is this compatible with concrete posts?

These boards are primarily designed for timber post systems, though they can be adapted with appropriate brackets for other post types.

Do I need to sink the board into the ground?

It is recommended to keep the board just above the soil level or resting on a layer of drainage gravel to prevent prolonged moisture trapping.

Troubleshooting

Board appearing uneven after installation

Use a spirit level during the mounting process and adjust the post-to-board attachment point before fully tightening fixings.

Difficulty aligning with existing fence posts

Trim the board to size using a hand or circular saw if the distance between posts is non-standard.

Water pooling against the board

Ensure the garden side is graded to slope slightly away from the fence line to promote drainage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly extends the service life of timber fencing
  • Reduces maintenance costs by preventing ground-level rot
  • Easy to integrate with standard fence installation methods
  • Provides a neat, finished edge to garden borders

Cons

  • Adds weight to the overall fence structure
  • Requires precise measurement for level installation
  • Natural wood may still weather over long periods despite treatment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your fence posts are set at the correct distance to accommodate the length of the boards. Use outdoor-grade screws or nails to secure the boards to the posts, ensuring the board is perfectly level to maintain an even line across your boundary. For maintenance, check the boards annually for any signs of significant weathering or soft spots. While the board is pressure-treated, applying an additional timber preservative or wood stain every few years will further enhance its resistance to moisture and UV rays.
