0.9m High Round Top Picket Board – Brown Pressure Treated Sawn

Full Description0.9m Round Top Sawn Picket Board – Pressure Treated Brown 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. Looking for convenience? You can also purchase our ready-made picket fence panels in 1.83m (6ft) wide sections. Picket Gate and Matching Components Complete your setup with a matching picket gate for easy access and a consistent look across your fence line. 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.
