Durable and Attractive Fencing
A picket fence might not look much to some people, but there are several reasons they’re still a common sight in this day and age.
Simple, Versatile Design
Picket fences Melbourne classic and modern homes have can’t get any simpler than a long row of pickets, making them cost-effective for some people’s needs.
Good All-Weather Resilience
Picket fences can hold their own in inclement weather. For instance, strong winds can pass through the gaps, preventing the fence from coming down.
Keeps Large Pets Within the Property
With the right height and design, a new picket fence can prevent large pets from escaping. On that note, pointed pickets can deter them from jumping over.
Full View, Full Transparency
A house in full view of the neighbours and passersby can appear less daunting. Many homeowners go for picket fencing to put their beautiful yards on display.
Increased Property Market Value
Homes surrounded by aesthetically pleasing fencing can command a higher price in the real estate market than those without one.
Quick and Easy Installation
The fence is lightweight enough to be set up with basic tools. Some erect the fences themselves, though we advise hiring an expert for worry-free installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have my picket fence painted a different colour?
Yes, we can paint the pickets with your preferred colour.
What kind of wood does your picket fence use?
Our picket fence uses kiln-dried treated pine for the pickets and dressed cypress for the posts. The wood we use undergoes chemical treatment to improve its resilience against the elements and damaging pests like termites.
Does my picket fencing project require a building permit?
That depends on where the picket fence will be set up, as Victoria state law has different height limits for various situations. We advise coordinating with your local shire or council to know whether or not your project requires a permit.
