Product Information

Full details

This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and professional fencers looking for a quick and durable solution to attach 25mm timber gravel boards to fence posts. The key benefit is the ease of installation and a professional finish without the need for additional wooden cleats. A minor caveat is their specific design for 25mm boards, meaning they are not universally compatible with all gravel board thicknesses. These clips are made from galvanized steel, offering corrosion resistance and a clean silver appearance, simplifying both new fence builds and repairs.

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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your fence posts are stable and correctly positioned.
  2. Align a 25mm timber gravel board against the base of the fence post.
  3. Position a gravel board clip on the outside face of the post, ensuring the raised lip will hold the gravel board.
  4. Secure the clip to the timber post using appropriate nails or screws (not included). Ensure the fixings are long enough to securely grip the post.
  5. Slide the gravel board into the channel created by the clip. A gentle tap may be needed to seat it fully.

Compatibility:

  • These clips are designed specifically for 25mm (approx. 1 inch) thick timber gravel boards.
  • They are compatible with timber fence posts. For concrete posts, ensure you use appropriate fixings for concrete.

Care:

  • The galvanized coating provides inherent corrosion resistance. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch the coating.
