Palisade & Picket Fencing
Evenly spaced pickets on horizontal rails — striking a balance between boundary marking and openness.
A picket fence consists of evenly spaced vertical boards, called pickets, attached to horizontal rails and supported by posts that have been dug and concreted into the ground. These pickets often feature pointed or rounded tops for visual impact. We can supply and install this style of fencing in a number of different heights according to requirements. This style of fencing strikes a balance between boundary marking and openness.
It is the fence to choose when you still want to see out. It marks the boundary without walling the garden in, and keeps children and dogs where they should be while leaving the sightlines open, which is why it has stayed a classic on front gardens.
Ours are made on site rather than delivered as ready-made panels, so the height, the spacing between the pickets, the shape of the tops and the finish are all yours to set. Tell us what you have in mind when we come out to quote.
