Palisade, or Picket fence as it is sometimes called, is very popular as front or back garden boundary fencing, particularly where a solid fence is not needed or desired. Picket fencing can also be used to partition off parts of the garden, such as the veggie patch, from children and pets. Matching gates and fittings are available.
All our Palisade fencing materials are pressure-treated with preservatives for longevity.

Materials:

Pressure-treated softwood

Palisades and Pickets are nailed onto square or arris rails to make the ever popular cottage style fence.
The normal method is two nails per palisade per rail. The ideal is to have the two nails at about a 30-degree angle to one another across the palisade.

See our Helpsheet Palisade Fencing Materials and Information for more information on Palisade and Picket fencing in general and how to calculate the number of palisades required for different spacings between the palisades.

We recommend that our pressure-treated fencing be given a coat of UV wood oil when new and reoiled every year. This oiling will help reduce the natural weathering effects and keep your fence looking good for longer. See our Helpsheet on Looking after pressure-treated fencing for more options.

To produce the traditional cottage-style fence, you can use a coloured, water-based fence treatment. Ideally, the fence should be left for several months for the pressure treatment to dry out entirely before adding a coloured treatment. It is best to avoid dark colours as they attract heat which may cause additional movement in the timber.
