Fence Styles

Wood, Vinyl, and Aluminum Picket Fences

A picket fence is generally 36 to 48 inches (91 to 122 cm) tall. A horizontal top rail and bottom rail are attached to fence posts, which are installed upright into the ground. Evenly spaced boards are affixed vertically to the rails. These boards with pointed tops are called “pickets” for their resemblance to the pointed stakes historically used by infantry to repel cavalry.

Picket fences can be made of several types of materials. Historically, wood has been the most popular material used for picket fences. This wood can be untreated, treated, or naturally insect and rot resistant. Available non-wood options include vinyl (PVC) and aluminum.

Wood Picket Fence

Wood picket fences can serve a variety of purposes for home and business owners alike. There are many benefits of installing a wood picket fence.

A wood picket fence will keep your outdoor space private and give you and your family added security and increase your home’s curb appeal. Many times this can help to increase your home’s overall value.

Wood is also an economical and durable choice. Wood privacy fences are one of the most popular and offers the most versatility.

We offer wood privacy fencing in cedar and pine and they can be installed in a variety of style options.
