Fencing 88B Grey Oak: pack coverage and matching the trim
This guide is about
Fencing 88B - Grey Oak - Outdoor - 180cm (1 Pack / 6pcs)
The Fencing 88B board pack in grey oak is the cool shade of the 16cm composite profile, and grey is the shade where the fittings matter most, because the listed posts are black. Before any of that, though, the pack count.
What a pack covers
The listing gives a board of 16 x 180 x 2cm when fitted and interlocked, six boards to a pack, and 1.73m² covered. Those agree: six boards 16cm deep stack to 96cm, and at 180cm long that is 1.73m².
| Board size, fitted | 16 x 180 x 2cm |
|---|---|
| Boards per pack | 6 |
| Coverage per pack | 1.73m² |
| Packs per fence panel | 2, per the listing |
| Covered by two packs | 3.46m² |
| Stacked height of twelve boards | 1.92m |
Two packs to a fence panel is the listing's own rule, and twelve boards at 16cm stack to 1.92m. A 1.8m bay therefore does not divide cleanly into whole boards: eleven reach 1.76m and the twelfth goes past the post. Expect a board to cut, hold back or set low, and ask the shop how they set these bays out if your posts are already concreted in.
Pack count for your run
- Measure between post centres in metres, at both ends of the run.
- Divide by 1.8m for bays and round up. A 7m boundary is four bays.
- At full height, two packs a bay. Four bays is eight packs.
- For a lower fence, divide the finished height in metres by 0.16 for the board count, then by six for packs.
- Add an allowance for cuts and ask the shop what it should be here.
Grey, and the trim question the listing leaves open
Two trims are named for fitting against existing concrete posts: the Fencing 86 Trim and the Fencing 94 Trim in black, both 180cm and four lengths to a pack. Only the 94 trim states its colour in its title, so if you are putting grey oak boards into a grey frame, ask the shop for the shade of the 86 trim rather than assuming it matches. The same goes for the uprights: the 6-inch black fence post and the 8-inch black fence post are both listed in black, which against grey oak is a deliberate contrast rather than a match.
Grey oak is a shade name and nothing more. The listing does not state the sheen, the depth of the grain, or whether the grey stays consistent from pack to pack, so see a board in daylight before committing a whole boundary to it. It does say the composite is weather and UV resistant and that the boards interlock without visible gaps, and it gives no material breakdown, fire classification or wind rating.
Grey oak in a wider board
If the line pattern is what you are choosing between rather than the colour, Fencing 94B in grey oak is the same shade name on a 30cm board, and that one works out at a single pack per fence panel with no board left over. Five lines across a bay instead of eleven reads quieter on a long boundary; the narrower 88B reads tighter and is easier to work with around a slope or a stepped run.
Both sit in fencing, under the broader garden and outdoor listings. Delivery is free within 50 miles of the Glasgow store and £50 beyond. On delivery, count the boards and check one length against your measurement before anything gets cut. When the bays are settled, order the Fencing 88B grey oak pack two to the bay, and quote the full title and code so the right shade arrives.
