Gravel board

[chillout]

I have a concrete gravel board with a hirline crack running through middle of it. What can I do, will the damp creep up to the fence panels. I was aiming to paint the boards.

it is probably reinforced with steel rods or mesh, so a hairline crack will not matter. The fence panels will get a lot wetter from the rain.

you can paint concrete gravel boards and posts with masonry paint to help them blend in with the stained woodwork and make them look beautiful.

Cheers, very true. How did you match the colour of the panels up to the posts so well though?

ordered "bitter chocolate" masonry paint, and one of the dark brown woodstains from the DIY shed. Dark brown woodstain is easy to get.

never got round to doing the inside timber

Cheers, Ive found a Sandolin masonry one in that colour I think. Should be close enough!
