Fitting U-brackets is quite easy. Simply slide over the fence post or screw it to the fence post or wall. When setting the U-brackets are set level, it is only a matter of sliding the gravel board into the slot. Handling heavy conrete gravel boards is thus reduced to a minimum.
Plastic gravel board to post U-brackets are standard available in the colours grey or black. The advantage of using plastic is that it does not rot or rust. This is in contrast to galvanised or lacquered metal brackets.
Applying gravel boards in a fence has the advantage that a certain degree of embankment can be realised. In addition, maintenance is made easier with regard to edge and forestry mowers, as the wire does not break or get caught in the mesh of the fence. In animal enclosures, gravel boards also have advantages with regard to the escape of small animals and the cleanability of the enclosure.
In short, if you want to use gravel boards in a fence, the plastic U-brackets are an ideal solution in terms of mounting advantages and optics.
