Traditional Pressure Treated Fence Pale with Pointed Top Finish

This 0.9m pointed top picket board is sawn and pressure treated brown, offering a cost-effective and classic solution for low-level garden fencing. The pointed top adds a traditional aesthetic and slight security enhancement, making it ideal for front gardens, flower bed borders, or low boundary lines.

Each board is sawn for a natural finish and is designed to slightly overhang the backing rails, creating a well-balanced, palisade-style effect with strong vertical definition.

Ideal Pairings and System Setup

To complete your fence, pair these sawn brown pickets with a brown horse rail (87mm x 38mm x 3.6m) for both top and bottom rails. This setup allows your pickets to sit approximately 50mm proud of the rails at the top and bottom for traditional visual appeal.

Recommended post options:

• 1.5m wooden fence posts for easy digging and matching timber finish

• Or 1.5m concrete recessed posts for added strength and weather resistance

To increase the lifespan of timber posts, we advise installing Post Saver Sleeves for reliable ground-level rot protection.

Add a Matching Gate

Maintain a cohesive design with a matching garden picket gate in the same pointed top style and finish.

How Far Apart Do I Space My Picket Pales?

A standard spacing is 70mm, which visually aligns with the width of each picket and creates a “hit-and-miss” style of alternating visibility and privacy. If you’re aiming for more privacy, reduce the spacing to 50mm. The right spacing should reflect your personal style and the intended function of your fence.

How Many Pickets Will I Need?

At 70mm spacing with 70mm wide pickets, you’ll need approximately 7 pickets per metre. For more detailed planning, view our full picket fence installation guide, covering spacing, layout, fixings, and tools.

How far apart do I space my picket pales?

Most traditional picket fences follow a “hit-and-miss” layout, with 70mm spacing between each board to match the 70mm board width. For increased privacy, reduce spacing to around 50mm. Wider gaps improve airflow and reduce wind resistance — the spacing choice ultimately comes down to visual preference and functional needs.

How many pickets will I need?

Using the standard 70mm picket width plus 70mm spacing (140mm per board), you’ll need approximately 7 pickets per metre. For full build guidance, visit our blog on how to build a picket fence.

Pressure Treated Fence Pale for Traditional Garden Picket Fencing

This 0.9m round top picket board is sawn and pressure treated brown for durability, offering a charming, rustic finish that suits traditional front gardens, boundaries, and decorative fencing. As part of a picket or palisade system, this board provides an affordable, breathable fence solution with a welcoming appearance.

Each picket board is designed to stand slightly proud of the backing rails when fixed, creating the classic vertical rhythm and shadow lines that define palisade-style fencing.

Ideal Pairings and System Setup

To build your fence, pair these sawn brown pickets with a matching brown horse rail (87mm x 38mm x 3.6m) as a top and bottom back rail. This setup allows your 0.9m pickets to overhang the rails slightly—typically by 50mm at both the top and bottom—for the desired palisade effect.

When choosing fence posts, opt for:

• 1.5m wooden fence posts (allowing 0.9m above ground + 0.6m burial depth)

• Or 1.5m concrete recessed posts

For added protection and longevity, especially at the vulnerable ground level, consider using Post Saver Sleeves—a low-cost upgrade that helps prevent post rot and extends lifespan.

How Far Apart Do I Space My Picket Pales?

A common rule of thumb is to space pickets 70mm apart, which matches the typical width of each board—achieving a “hit and miss” effect that balances airflow and visibility. For more privacy, reduce the gap to 50mm. Spacing ultimately depends on your aesthetic goals and privacy needs.

How Many Pickets Will I Need?

Using 70mm spacing between 70mm pickets means you’ll need roughly 7 pickets per metre. For exact quantities and layout tips, visit our full guide on how to build a picket fence, which includes layout advice, fixings, and spacing options.

We recommend pairing this board with 1.5m wooden fence posts for a strong install with 600mm (2ft) of burial depth, or opt for concrete fence posts for maximum lifespan. Wooden posts can be further protected with Post Saver Sleeves.

Don’t forget to complete the look with a matching garden picket gate.

Standard spacing is 70mm, the same as the board width, to achieve a “hit and miss” design. For a tighter finish, reduce spacing to 50mm. Wider spacing enhances airflow and gives a more open appearance, while tighter spacing offers greater privacy.

Using the 70mm + 70mm (board + gap) rule, you’ll need around 7 boards per metre. For more guidance on spacing and layout, check out our detailed blog: How to Build a Picket Fence

Traditional Brown-Treated Fence Pale with Pointed Top

This 1.2m pointed top picket board is pressure treated brown for long-lasting resistance to moisture, rot, and decay. Its pointed top adds a sharp, decorative finish that’s commonly used for boundary fencing, front gardens, and path edging. The sawn surface gives a traditional rustic appearance that pairs well with other brown timber materials.

Each board is designed to sit slightly above and below the horizontal rails to create the signature palisade picket effect, combining visual appeal with practical boundary marking.

Recommended Rails and Fence Setup

For best results, pair these pickets with brown horse rail (87mm x 38mm x 3.6m) – used as top and bottom rails to secure the boards. Allow each picket to overhang by ~50mm above and below the rails for a neat finish.

Recommended post options for 1.2m high pickets:

• 1.8m wooden fence posts – Easy to install with a traditional aesthetic

• 1.8m concrete recessed fence posts – Long-life, rot-proof alternative

Standard spacing is 70mm, creating a “hit and miss” effect (a board, a gap, a board) — offering a light boundary without full privacy. For a tighter, more private setup, reduce spacing to 50mm. Wider gaps help reduce wind load and give a more open feel. Your spacing should match the desired balance between privacy, airflow, and style.

How Many Pickets Will I Need?

With 70mm boards and 70mm gaps, you’ll typically use 7 pickets per metre. To help calculate exact quantities and layout, view our full installation guide:

Classic Brown-Treated Fence Pale with Rounded Top Finish

This 1.2m round top picket board is sawn and pressure treated brown, providing a reliable and traditional fencing solution for front gardens, pathways, or boundary dividers. The rounded top delivers a softer, more decorative finish than pointed styles — ideal where aesthetics are a priority.
