Picket Fencing

Picket Fencing Installation in Perth, WA

A picket fence marks a front garden without hiding it. Traditional timber pickets suit older homes and cottage gardens; aluminium pickets give the same profile with none of the painting. Either way the spacing, the height and the cap profile are what make it look right.

A picket fence creates a welcoming, timeless front boundary that defines your garden without closing off the property from the street. Popular across Perth's heritage and character suburbs—from Subiaco, Mount Lawley, and Victoria Park to Guildford and Fremantle—our picket fencing installations combine traditional craftsmanship with materials built to endure Western Australia's climate.

We provide both authentic timber picket fencing and modern powder-coated aluminium picket fencing. For traditional timber fencing, we use premium H3-treated pine or native Jarrah palings fixed to sturdy H4-treated in-ground posts and horizontal timber rails, finished with traditional colonial, gothic, round, or flat-top cap profiles. For homeowners seeking the classic picket appearance without the ongoing chore of sanding, priming, and painting, our architectural aluminium picket fences are completely termite-proof, rust-free, and powder-coated to your choice of Colorbond or custom colours.

Under Western Australian Residential Design Codes (R-Codes) and local council streetscape policies, front fences are commonly subject to a 1.2m maximum height limit or permeability requirements to preserve sightlines for reversing vehicles. We design and set out each picket fence to ensure full council compliance while maximising privacy and street appeal.

Every picket fence can be completed with matching single pedestrian gates with heritage ring latches and deadlocks, or automated double-swing and sliding driveway gates that continue the picket spacing seamlessly across the vehicle opening.
