FAQs
What is the primary purpose of these gravel board clips?
These clips are designed to securely attach 25mm timber gravel boards to fence posts, providing a neat finish without the need for wooden cleats.
Are these clips suitable for all types of gravel boards?
No, these clips are specifically designed for timber gravel boards that are 25mm thick.
What materials are needed for installation?
You will need nails or screws suitable for attaching the clips to your fence posts. These are not included with the clips.
How do I clean the clips?
The galvanized coating is durable. You can clean them with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials that could damage the coating.
Will these clips prevent my gravel boards from rotting?
These clips secure the gravel boards but do not inherently prevent rot. Proper timber treatment and ensuring good drainage are essential for preventing wood rot.
Can these clips be used with concrete fence posts?
While the clips attach to the post, you would need appropriate fixings designed for concrete to attach them securely to concrete posts.
How many clips are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 gravel board clips.
Troubleshooting
Gravel board is loose after installation
Ensure the clip is securely fastened to the post and that the gravel board is fully seated. Check if the gravel board is indeed 25mm thick; if it's thinner, the clip may not provide sufficient tension. Consider using shims if the board is slightly thinner.
Clip does not fit flush against the post
Check the post surface for obstructions or significant irregularities. Ensure you are using the correct size nails/screws that do not interfere with the clip's seating.
Galvanized coating shows signs of rust
Minor surface rust can sometimes occur on galvanized items. For significant rust, the clip may need replacement to ensure structural integrity and prevent further spread.
Difficulty sliding gravel board into clip
Check for any debris or obstructions within the clip or on the edge of the gravel board. A slight twisting motion might help seat the board. If the board is slightly warped, minor adjustments may be needed.
