Most standard fence panels are designed to fit a 6ft spacing between posts. However, there are many situations where a custom size is required. For example, you may be working with an uneven boundary or trying to fit fencing into a tight or awkward space where standard dimensions simply don’t work.

Gravel boards are an essential part of a well-built fence, protecting panels from moisture and ground contact. They sit at the base of a fence and help prevent damage caused by damp conditions.

In this article, we explain what gravel boards are, why they matter, and how to install them properly. With over 20 years of experience at G&G, we also share practical tips to help you achieve a durable, long-lasting fence.

Lisa and Tom bought their 1930s semi in Kent mainly for the garden, which felt green and open and easy to spend time in. The only issue was the back ran alongside a footpath, which they felt left them a bit open. To sort it out, they decided to put in a taller fence. Lisa ordered a batch of six foot panels and the fitter came back at the weekend to put them up.

When garden decking is first installed, it always looks great. The boards are clean, and it’s something you want to show off to your friends, family (and maybe even your neighbours). The only issue is that, over time and with everyday use, it starts to leave its mark. Furniture gets dragged across it, it has the unpredictable British weather to deal with, and leaves collect in corners. The decking still does its job, but it may not look quite as fresh as it once did.
