The Advantages of Wooden Picket Fencing
Low Cost, Simple Design
Picket fences can’t get any simpler: a row of pickets or pointed wooden stakes that line a property. Producing them doesn’t take a lot, and so is installing them.
Holds Steady During Stormy Weather
The gaps between pickets allow wind to pass through unimpeded. As such, a picket fence can hold its own in stormy weather or when a cyclone passes.
Keeps Large Pets From Escaping
With the correct height and design, a picket fence can keep large pets inside the property. The pointy edges may dissuade them from jumping over to freedom.
Doesn’t Appear Too Menacing
Fences that hide a house from sight can sometimes appear menacing. A picket fence provides a full view of the property while providing decent security.
Comes in Various Colours and Designs
This type of fence doesn’t only come in classic white. You’re free to spruce it up however you desire, from painting it a different colour to customising the pickets.
Easy Installation
Many homeowners install their picket fences using everyday home tools. That said, if you don’t feel like you’re up to the task, it’s a good idea to hire a pro.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are picket fences safe for children and animals?
Recorded injuries involving picket fences are often attributed to poor design, particularly setting the gaps too wide. With a fencing professional’s help, a picket fence won’t pose a safety risk to children and animals.
Do I need a building permit to set up a picket fence?
Given that picket fences tend to be shorter in height than other types, some projects may not need a building permit. However, you’d want to consult your local council to be sure.
Can picket fences be made out of metal?
Some picket fences are made out of wrought iron or steel. However, we don’t recommend this if it features pointed pickets, as they can seriously wound someone.
Can I pick something other than a white picket fence?
Absolutely! We can plan colours and designs other than the classic white if that isn’t your cup of tea. Consult our fence building team to design one that speaks to you.
