Picket fencing is a traditional timber fence made from evenly spaced vertical pickets fixed to horizontal rails. It’s used mainly for front yards, entrances, and corner properties.
It gives a home a classic, open, friendly appearance while still defining your boundary clearly.

What to Consider Before Installing Picket Fencing
Style & Height
Council rules for front fences vary — I’ll advise on approved heights.
Spacing
Wider gaps look more relaxed; tight spacing adds structure.
Finish
Painted pickets look sharp; natural finish feels warm.
Gate Integration
If you want a matching entry gate, tell me early so I can reinforce posts.
Maintenance & Care for Picket Fences
Repaint every few years (if painted)
Keep plants trimmed away from rails and bases
Rinse dirt or debris during winter months
