White Picket Fence

A white picket fence is the symbol of a quintessential American home. It represents safety, security, and community. Today, these fences have evolved from suburban symbols into charming outdoor features. Do you yearn to live that white picket fence dream? Illinois Fence Company can turn that dream into a reality!

When white picket fences first appeared, they existed only to mark property boundaries. Present-day picket fences have had a glow up. From landscape design to containing pets, they have so many uses. Here are a few ideas:

• Beautify your home's exterior: A front yard white picket fence can add instant curb appeal. It provides a warm welcome for visitors.   
• Create a charming entrance: Give your home a fairytale feel with a white picket fence gate. Whether at the front of your home or the entrance to your garden, these gates add a touch of magic.  
• Define outdoor spaces: Well-placed picket fences can section areas in your yard. Create a play area for the kids, or keep puppies from wandering away. 
• Decorate flowerbeds: The contrast of white fencing with vibrant flowers highlights your landscaping. A white picket garden fence makes a perfect frame for your roses, wild bergamot, or purple coneflower.

The time has come to put your picket fence plans into action. But first, you need to decide on the material. We offer different options:

Wood is the traditional choice. This natural, renewable material is popular for homeowners who value authenticity and warmth. For picket fences, the type of wood is important. We source durable, dense wood species like cypress, redwood, and cedar from local mills. These woods are outdoor heroes. With proper maintenance, they resist rotting, insects, decay, and the elements.   

If you opt for a wood picket fence, keep the following in mind:

• Maintenance: Wood needs regular care. From inspections to resealing, prepare to put in a little love to extend the life of your wood picket fence.
• Painting: Our wood fences come in natural shades. If you want a white picket fence, grab those paintbrushes! Painting your fence can be a fun DIY project, or you can enlist the help of professional painters.  
• Installation: Professional installation gives your new fence the best chance of lasting for years. We're here to help! Our skilled installers understand the techniques for a stable, durable fence. 

Go vinyl for a white picket fence without wood's paint or maintenance requirements. Our vinyl picket fences come in ready-to-install white and can mimic the look of wood. You get wood's natural charm with PVC's strength and durability. Vinyl needs little maintenance besides regular cleaning, making it a cost-effective alternative to other materials. 

Vinyl picket fences are tougher than they look. They can resist rotting, warping, and fading while handling extreme weather conditions. Enjoy the traditional picket fence with a modern twist!
