1.2m Round Top Sawn Picket Board – Pressure Treated Brown

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.

Each board is cut for a classic palisade effect and is designed to sit slightly proud of the top and bottom rail, enhancing visual texture and vertical rhythm in your fence run.

Ideal Pairings and System Setup

These sawn brown pickets pair perfectly with brown horse rail (87mm x 38mm x 3.6m) for use as backing rails. Install one rail at the base and another near the top, allowing around 50mm overhang from the pickets for that distinct picket fence finish.

Recommended posts for this height:

• 1.8m wooden fence posts – Traditional and easy to install

• 1.8m concrete recessed posts – Low-maintenance, rot-proof solution

To increase timber lifespan, we recommend using Post Saver Sleeves at ground level to help prevent decay and moisture damage over time.

Rather build less? You can also purchase our pre-assembled 1.83m (6ft) wide picket panels to save time and effort.

Add a Matching Gate

Pair with a matching garden picket gate for a consistent look across your entire run — available in both pointed and round top styles.

How Far Apart Do I Space My Picket Pales?

The most common spacing is 70mm, roughly equal to the picket width, for a “hit-and-miss” layout that gives partial privacy. For more privacy, you can tighten spacing to 50mm, though wider gaps will reduce wind resistance. Ultimately, spacing depends on your preferred balance between privacy, airflow, and aesthetics.

How Many Pickets Will I Need?

At 70mm spacing with 70mm wide boards, expect to use about 7 pickets per metre. Use our how to build a picket fence guide to plan your spacing, layout, and fixing methods with ease.
