Painted Picket Front Fence
ResidentialOakleigh — Painted timber pickets, plinth
Picket fencing
Picket fences for the front of the house.
A front fence is the first thing people see. We set out the pickets evenly, keep the top line true, and build the gates to match.
Street appeal, without fuss
Picket fences mark the front boundary without closing the house off. They suit period homes, weatherboards and new builds, and they're the most common front fence in Melbourne's south east.
Because a front fence is on show every day, the details matter: even gaps, a straight top line, posts that stay plumb, and gates that close without dragging.
Options
- Picket style
- Flat top, pointed, rounded or square-cut slats. Spacing can be wide for an open look or tight for more privacy.
- Plinth or open base
- A plinth board along the bottom keeps the pickets clear of the ground and gives a solid base line.
- Painted or natural
- Pickets can be painted to match the house or left natural and oiled.
- Gates to match
- Pedestrian and driveway gates built in the same style. Automated driveway gates are an option too.
Before you build a front fence
Front fences can need council approval above a certain height, and the rules vary between councils. Check before you commit to a tall front fence. Jake can talk it through on the site visit.
