Gravel Boards

The base of a fence takes more punishment than any other part. It sits closest to the ground, collects moisture from soil and grass, and bears the brunt of Ireland’s wet winters. Without proper protection, timber fence bases rot quickly — often within a few years. Durapost gravel boards solve this problem directly. They sit at the base of the fence line, creating a barrier between the fence panels and the ground. As a result, your fence stays protected from moisture damage and lasts far longer.

At Creative Landscaping Works, we stock the full Durapost accessory range. In fact, gravel boards are one of the first components we recommend to homeowners and contractors planning a new fence installation across Donegal and the North West.

Composite Material — Built to Last in Irish Conditions

Timber gravel boards rot. That is simply what happens when you put untreated or poorly treated wood in contact with damp Irish soil. The Durapost gravel board, by contrast, uses composite material that holds its structure regardless of rainfall, frost, or temperature change. It will not rot, warp, or crack, so you never need to replace it due to weather damage. That makes it a genuinely low-maintenance choice for any garden fencing project.

Three Lengths to Suit Your Fence Layout

Durapost gravel boards come in three lengths to suit different fence panel spacings and garden layouts. The 1.8m board suits standard panel widths and smaller garden runs. The 2.4m board gives you more coverage per length, reducing the number of joints along the fence line. The 3.0m board covers larger spans and works well for longer fence runs or commercial applications. Choose the length that matches your panel width and post spacing for the cleanest result.

Use as a Gravel Board or a Full Panel

The gravel board does more than just protect the base of your fence. You can also use it to build a full fence panel within the Durapost system. This gives you a solid, weatherproof lower section on any fence run — a practical option for properties with uneven ground levels or where you need solid privacy down to the ground.

Two Colours to Coordinate With Your Durapost Fence

The gravel board comes in Grey and Olive. Grey suits contemporary properties, modern renders, and darker fence panel finishes. Olive, on the other hand, gives a softer, more natural tone that works well alongside timber-effect panels and planting-heavy garden styles. Both colours coordinate with the full Durapost range, so your gravel board blends neatly into the overall fence line.

FAQ Section

What do Durapost gravel boards do? Durapost gravel boards sit at the base of the fence line and protect fence panels from ground contact and moisture. They stop the base of your fence rotting away in damp conditions — a common problem in Ireland’s wet climate. As a result, your fence lasts longer and needs less maintenance.

What sizes do Durapost gravel boards come in? Durapost gravel boards come in three lengths — 1.8m, 2.4m, and 3.0m. Choose the length that best matches your fence panel width and post spacing for a clean, gap-free finish.

Do Durapost gravel boards rot or warp? No — Durapost gravel boards use composite material that will not rot, warp, or crack. They hold their shape and structure in Ireland’s wet, changeable climate and need no ongoing maintenance.

Can I use a gravel board as a full fence panel? Yes — Durapost gravel boards also work as full fence panels within the Durapost system. This gives you a solid, weatherproof lower section on any fence run, which is particularly useful on uneven ground or where you need solid privacy at ground level.
