Picket fence is a type of decorative fence made up of evenly spaced vertical boards (called pickets) attached to horizontal rails. The tops of the pickets are often pointed, rounded, or shaped for style. The fence is typically low — around 3 to 4 feet tall — and is often painted white.
Design Features:
Material: Traditionally made from wood, but now also available in PVC (vinyl), metal, and composite materials.
Height: Generally low — meant to demarcate boundaries without obstructing views.
Spacing: The space between pickets is uniform, allowing visibility and airflow.
Styles: Flat-top, dog-ear, French gothic, scalloped, and custom designs.
