Your Fencing Solutions

Now that you embark on your choices in a beautiful picket fence in Melbourne, it is time to understand the process of achieving it with our team of experts. Here are some things you should remember for picket fences:

1. Basic Picket Fence or Featured: Express Yourself

A basic picket fence comprises vertical slats that are evenly spaced and pointed or shaped like a picket, with horizontal rails connecting the slats.

On the other hand, a featured picket fence is more ornate and appealing.

It could have decorative elements like finials, scalloped edges, latticework, or decorative posts.

2. Style Based on Your Requirements

Different fence styles have unique installation and design requirements.

For example, a picket fence is ideal for installing posts at a specific distance and depth. This type of fence can be availed from reliable fencing contractors in Melbourne.

3. Measure with Precision

The slope of your property can significantly influence the design and installation of your fence.

If your property is sloped, your wall may need to follow the contour of the land to be level and stable.

This may entail the installation of additional posts or changes to the fence's height.
