Picket Fencing
Picket fencing structures are among the most common types of domestic fencing. Basic picket fencing design has endured for at least three and a half centuries. Although picket fencing developed from the medieval paling, it was during the 1600s that the picket fencing design became popular in the European colonies in the Americas. However, it was not until the 1800s that picket fencing materials were mass-produced. Today, prefabricated picket fencing structures can be ordered from manufacturers’ catalogues.
Picket fencing is now popular all over the world, especially in countries that are heavily influenced by European and American cultures. It is commonly used in suburban and rural residential areas where there are ample spaces for gardens and turf. Picket fencing can complement and even accentuate the aesthetic appeal of homes.
Picket fencing structures are commonly constructed from wooden boards that are tapered on top. These boards are evenly spaced and held together by horizontal rails and vertical posts, and they are usually painted white. However, modern picket fences are also constructed from aluminium and vinyl materials. Installing prefabricated picket fences is relatively simple but you may need to hire professionals to build customised picket fencing.
