A Sophisticated Twist on an American Classic: The Picket Fence

American Fence & Gate has a new favorite! As most people know, the picket fence has long been America’s Sweetheart among fencing styles when it comes to charm. In fact, the popularity of the picket fence has remained relatively steady since its first emergence on the scene in early colonial days. Picket fences are a pretty way to define a property boundary without completely obscuring the view, as with a privacy fence. They generally work well to help contain children and pets within the yard.

Traditional picket fences were constructed of wood and whitewashed. Picket fences of today are half as likely to be stained as painted, and are widely available in vinyl versions as well - which are particularly low maintenance and budget friendly.

But many of today’s homeowners are looking for something with a little more updated to help express their unique personal style. The answer? The look we have been loving is a sophisticated twist on the classic favorite. Adding a capped rail atop the “pickets” and beveled or capped post tops to the traditional style adds architectural interest. Coupled with natural wood, rather than the whitewashed or painted look, the fence exudes a strong, slightly masculine appeal.

If you’re interested in having this attractive fence added to your property, we’d recommend a beautiful stained or natural cedar for its durability. However, treated pine can be great looking on this modern adaptation of the picket fence as well. Take your pick - It’s up to you.
