Alnwick gravel board supply — stops your fence rotting at ground level
Gravel board is what most Alnwick fencers reach for first. Gravel boards are the horizontal timber that sits at the base of a fence, between the posts, raising the fence boards off wet earth and stopping ground-rot. A gravel board is the cheapest single thing you can do to add years to a fence. We deliver across Alnwick and the north Northumberland coast and the wider Northumberland footprint — 1–2 day.
Whether you're laying a single back-garden run on a Warkworth or Amble property or quoting a multi-house developer plot, the timber's the same: pressure-treated softwood, sized properly, dropped where you need it.

What Alnwick looks like for fencing
Heavy coastal weather on anything east of the A1 — Bamburgh, Seahouses, Embleton, Warkworth all see salt air and serious wind. We always recommend top-spec for these: 4×4 pressure-treated posts, gravel boards, cap rails, galvanised fixings. Inland (Rothbury, Lemmington) is sheltered and standard spec is fine. Long drives mean stock-and-deliver runs are more cost-effective than multiple trips.
Neighbourhoods we drop to: Warkworth, Amble, Rothbury, Felton, Lesbury, Bamburgh, Seahouses, Lemmington, Embleton. Plus surrounding postcodes (NE65–NE68) — drop your postcode at checkout if you're unsure.
