About this item:
Hedgehog Friendly Rock Face Base Panels, also known as Concrete Gravel Boards with a Rock Face Design and Wildlife Access, are specifically designed to combine durability, aesthetic appeal, and environmental responsibility. These innovative gravel boards feature a smooth stone-effect finish with a built-in access hole that allows hedgehogs and other small wildlife to pass safely through gardens and outdoor spaces — helping to support local ecosystems without compromising the strength or integrity of your fencing.
Like standard gravel boards, Hedgehog Friendly Rock Face Base Panels prevent timber fence panels from sitting directly on the ground, protecting them from damp, rot, and decay while creating a neat, professional finish. The decorative rock face design adds an attractive stone-effect texture, enhancing the look of your fencing.
Key Features:
• Integrated hedgehog access hole supports wildlife movement and garden biodiversity
• Decorative rock face design offers an attractive, stone-effect finish
• Durable reinforced concrete construction for strength and longevity
• Prevents timber panels from ground contact to avoid rot and moisture damage
• Compatible with standard slotted concrete fence posts
• Available in popular sizes for easy installation alongside standard fencing systems
• Manufactured to BS EN Standards for durability and structural integrity
• Maintenance-free and highly weather-resistant for year-round performance
Common Questions:
Q: Can these gravel boards be used with wooden posts?
A: While they are primarily designed for use with slotted concrete fence posts, some customers use them creatively with wooden posts. However, for optimal performance and longevity, we recommend using concrete posts.
Q: Do Plain Face Base Panels require any maintenance?
A: No, they are made from high-quality reinforced concrete, which is weatherproof, rot-resistant, and maintenance-free.
Q: How are gravel boards installed?
A: Gravel boards simply slot into place between concrete posts beneath the fence panel. For more complex installations, we recommend seeking professional advice.
Q: Why choose concrete over timber gravel boards?
A: Concrete gravel boards significantly outlast timber alternatives. They are impervious to moisture, insects, and rot, providing a solid, long-lasting base for your fence.
Q: Why choose a Rock Face design over Plain Face? A: The Rock Face design offers added aesthetic value, creating a more decorative and textured finish compared to the smooth Plain Face option, while still providing the same structural benefits.
