What is a Picket Fence?

• There are many fence types out there, from spiked
  wrought iron fencing, imposing and clearly
  visible from far away in its unique patterns and
  designs, to invisible fencing, built with shock
  collars to keep pets in without disturbing the
  view of a property with any physical barriers.
• But no fence design is as ubiquitous and common
  as the picket fence. Although it doesnt offer
  the best security or privacy at 3-4 feet height,
  picket fences beautifully complement many
  architectural styles.

The Different Types of Picket Fences

• The picket fence can be generally described as
• Composed of 1 x 3 or 1 x 4 boards.
• Picketed (cut to the shape at the top).
• Each picket is spaced uniformly, on a
  four-by-four frame.
• Yet despite that, it comes with a selection of
  different types, based on the cut of the top
  picket, the amount of spacing between pickets,
  and the material used usually either wood or
  vinyl.

Tips for Choosing a Picket Fence

• Before you set your heart on a picket fence of
  your choice, make sure you know what youre
  getting yourself into by getting equipped with
  the following simple and easy steps

Tip 1 Buy Locally

• No matter whether youre purchasing a vinyl
  picket fence or a wooden one, you should buy
  locally. That isnt to say stick to local
  materials but stick to local manufacturers and
  fence distributors. That way, you can help keep
  your costs down.

Tip 2 Choose a Great Material

• Between wood and vinyl, a vinyl picket fence is
  the absolute best choice. Vinyl pulls ahead of
  wood for several reasons, such as
• Better durability.
• No maintenance.
• Color lasts longer.
• As a downside, vinyl is a little pricier than
  wood.

Tip 3 DIY, or Professional?

• The final decision to make is whether to install
  a fence on your own, or with the help of
  professionals. If its a small project like a
  picket fence and youve had minor DIY experience,
  it should be absolutely no problem to install on
  your own! Otherwise, getting an installer will
  help you keep things convenient.
