This decorative fence was built with 4 inch pickets which are less commonly used because the lumber mills are producing better quality 6 inch pickets than this older design. This fence is eye-catching because the pickets are attached between the post rather than on the runner in front of the post. The homeowner treated the post with different stain than the pickets making a picture frame effect. We recommned using a galvanized pipe post raather than a wooden post for longevity but we will work with you to create unique designs that fit your needs.
