Durable and Attractive Fencing
Don’t let this simple-looking fence give you the wrong impression. There are many reasons a white picket fence Geelong residents want for their homes is still a prevalent sight in the modern Australian suburbs.
Simple, Versatile Design
Pickets are straightforward in design and can be made into any form you want – be it the iconic pointed design or a rounded one.
Good All-Weather Resilience
Constructed with the same treated timber as our timber fences, picket fences can hold their own against any extreme weather.
Keeps Large Pets Within the Property
Large dogs and cats will be hard-pressed trying to break out of your home thanks to the picket fence’s narrow gaps.
Full View, Full Transparency
Show your neighbours how cozy your home is. A picket fence is a great choice for letting others display the beauty of your front yard.
Increased Property Market Value
First impressions count, and picket fences are great for making any residential property look like first-class real estate.
Quick and Easy Installation
Picket fences are arguably the easiest custom fencing option to set up, thanks to timber being lightweight compared to other materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of timber does your picket fence use?
Our picket fences are made from the same kiln-dried treated pine used in our timber fence. This ensures the fence’s longevity under constant exposure to the elements.
Is your picket fence resistant to termites and other insects?
The chemical treatment our timber undergoes ensures it won’t be a good environment for termites and other insects to feed or thrive on.
Are picket fences environmentally friendly?
When the timber comes from sustainable sources like managed forests, a picket fence can be a great option for those concerned about the environment.
Do picket fences require frequent maintenance?
The fence will eventually wear out over time, especially the paint. To help keep it fresh for a long time, we recommend pressure washing the fence to remove the stuck dirt and grime. If its appearance doesn’t improve after washing, it may be in need of a fresh coat of paint.
