About this collection
Picket & Post-and-Rail Fence Ideas, explained.
Low fences frame a house rather than hide it. These designs show white and natural pickets with gates and arbours, post-and-rail along drives and paddocks, and split rail with wildflowers, on cottages, farmhouses and colonials.
Keep pickets below four feet in a front yard and let planting spill through them. Save the profiles and spacing that suit your house's period.
What to look for as you browse
- Height, and whether the top is capped or open
- Which side faces out and how posts are spaced
- Planting on both sides so the fence reads as a hedge line
