Picket Fences

picket fence
​​Picket fences are typically found in front gardens where there are lower height restrictions in place and where for most homes a security feature is to have a visible front door with easy access for post and parcel delivery staff.
The name describes the type of fence and whilst similar styles can be seen on other pages we have primarily focused this page on the use of picket fences for the front boundaries of residential properties and sectioning in back gardens.

As this is a style of fence - it is available in a wide variety of materials, finishes, dimensions and designs. However, the most popular typically fall into just a handful of options.

By far the most common material is wood as this is by far the cheapest option. So where this is viewed to simply provide a boundary marker wood is often chosen. Wood is also popular choice for sectioning areas with back gardens. When gardens host a pond - and very young children. A small picket fence is ideal as a pool fence to section off the hazard for a few years until children have reached an age where a pool, pond or other hazard no longer poses a threat.

For many people the front of their property is seen as an extension of their home and is where first impressions are formed regarding a property and the people who live in it.  Metal picketing fences where numerous decorative finishes are available can been seen as stand alone fencing, or as an addition to a brickwork wall which can provide quite a feeling of grandeur about the property.

In the same manner  as back gardens, the use of composite fencing, or plastic picket fencing is a growing trend both for garden fronts and for creating a small surround to patio or decked area. If this is a raised area, again a simple picket fence can create a child friendly barrier along the edge.
