    Forest 6' x 6" Lightweight Concrete Gravel Board (1.83m x 0.15m)

    Forest 6' x 6" Lightweight Concrete Gravel Board (1.83m x 0.15m) - £38.49

    Exposure to ground contact is one of the main causes of rot and decay in timber fence panels. Our Fence-Plus Lightweight Concrete Gravel Boards are the best way to provide your fence panels with the solid, stable support that they need. Where timber gravel boards soak up moisture, concrete gravel boards block and deflect moisture away from your panels. With a standing height of 150mm, ground moisture will not be a concern.

    Our boards are compatible with both 1800mm and 1830mm wide panels thanks to an innovative removable "nib" design. At an incredible 18kg, our concrete gravel boards are surprisingly easy to manoeuvre and install. The boards are designed to be used in conjunction with our concrete fence posts.

    Please note - We recommend the use of a recognised mechanical cutting tool if removing the "nibs".

    • Concrete gravel boards are the ultimate protection for your fence panels.
    • Concrete will not rust, rot or decay.
    • Compatible with 1800mm and 1830mm wide fence panels.
    • Much lighter than most concrete gravel boards.
    • Standing height of 150cm.
    • These concrete gravel boards can be used with our concrete fence posts.

    Postsaver Pro-Set Rigid Post Fixing Foam for Fence Posts (1 Pack)

    Postsaver Pro-Set Rigid Post Fixing Foam for Fence Posts (1 Pack) - £19.99

    Award-winning Postsaver Pro-Set Rigid Post Fixing Foam is the quickest, easiest, most-effective way to secure fence posts in the ground.

    What Is Postsaver Pro-Set Rigid Post Fixing Foam?

    Suitable for all types of fence post, this high-performance fence post fixing foam is just as strong as traditional concrete, yet a fraction of the weight and far easier to use.

    How to Use It

    No water, mixing or heavy lifting is required. Simply shake the fence post foam bag for 60 seconds, and then pour around the fence post in its hole. Within 3 – 5 minutes, the post foam will start to expand and harden, reaching its full strength load in 90 minutes.

    Any excess or backfill can easily be cut away during the expansion process, to prevent foam egress.

    Benefits of This Fence Post Fixing Foam

    Quick to set, this post fixing foam is water resistant, weatherproof and will not decay over time. Its expanding properties ensure a tight and stable fit around the fence post, minimising the risk of movement or loosening over time. In fact, not only does this post fixing foam keep fence posts secure during severe winds, it exceeds the lateral strength of traditional concrete post mix!

    Environmental Credentials

    Because far less CO2 is produced during the manufacturing process, and as transportation is quicker and less energy intensive, this expanding fixing foam is much more environmentally friendly than using traditional concrete. It is also nontoxic and completely environmentally safe.

    How Much Fence Post Fixing Foam to Use

    Weighing just 1.35kg, each 1000ml pack of Postsaver Pro-Set Rigid Post Fixing Foam will secure 2 fence posts, so is the equivalent of using 40kg of concrete!

    Buying Postsaver Pro-Set Rigid Post Fixing Foam for Fence Posts

    This post fixing foam is sold in 1000ml packs. Please note that it can only be bought when ordering fence posts.

    • Quick, effective and incredibly easy to use
    • As strong as traditional concrete
    • No water, mixing or heavy lifting required
    • Job done in just 90 minutes
    • Completely weatherproof
    • Environmentally friendly
