Picket fences are an iconic symbol of the American dream. They evoke feelings of nostalgia, tradition, and an idyllic lifestyle, adding instant charm to any property. If you're looking to install one, Illinois Fence Company is here to help.
A wooden picket fence features evenly spaced vertical boards. These boards, called wood fence pickets, attach to horizontal rails supported by posts set into the ground. They can have various shapes, such as pointed, rounded, or flat tops. Pine or cedar wood is a popular choice for picket fences. Whatever material you choose, they offer a degree of safety and privacy with an open, inviting aesthetic.
Picket fences made of wood are popular for a reason. A few of their benefits include:
- Classic curb appeal: A picket fence frames your home, creating a warm, welcoming ambience for you to enjoy for years to come. It can also be an appealing upgrade if you're thinking of selling your property.
- Affordability: Since wood is natural and abundant, wooden picket fences are a budget-friendly alternative to some other fencing types.
- Design versatility: Adaptability is a key feature of picket fences. Beyond framing the front of your home, they can line walkways or give your garden a fairytale feel.
- Safety: Picket fences can provide a partial enclosure for children and pets to play, keeping them contained inside your yard.
- Customization: Personalize your fence with picket styles, spacing, and post caps for a unique look. Have you always dreamed of a white wood picket fence? Our fences come in various natural wood shades, but painting your fence is a great DIY project!
