With more than 20 years of experience in fencing in Melbourne, we know fencing better than anyone else in the business.
Picket fencing is a timeless fencing style characterised by evenly spaced vertical boards, known as pickets, that are attached to horizontal rails. This type of fencing typically stands between three and four feet tall, offering an inviting and open feel while clearly defining your property boundaries. Picket fences are often associated with the idyllic image of the American Dream, exuding warmth, friendliness, and an understated elegance.
What are The Advantages of Picket Fencing?
Picket fencing offers numerous benefits, making it a popular choice for homeowners and businesses alike. Here’s why picket fencing might be the perfect solution for your property:
Aesthetic Appeal
Picket fencing adds a classic and timeless charm to any property. Its clean lines and symmetrical design create a visually appealing boundary that enhances your landscape’s beauty. Whether you prefer the traditional white picket fence or a more contemporary look with stained wood or coloured finishes, picket fencing seamlessly blends with various architectural styles.
Versatility
One of the standout features of picket fencing is its versatility. It can be customised to fit different design preferences and functional needs. From various picket shapes and spacing options to diverse materials like wood, vinyl, and composite, the possibilities are endless. Our picket fence builders at Fenceology will work with you to create a design that complements your home and reflects your personal style.
Enhanced Curb Appeal
A well-installed picket fence instantly boosts your property’s curb appeal. It serves as an attractive focal point that draws the eye and creates a welcoming atmosphere. If you’re planning to sell your home, a picket fence can significantly increase its market value by making a positive first impression on potential buyers.
Safety and Security
While picket fences are not typically designed for high security, they do provide a clear boundary for your property, which can deter trespassers and keep children and pets safely within your yard. The visibility through the pickets allows you to monitor outdoor activities easily, adding an extra layer of peace of mind.
Low Maintenance
With advancements in materials, picket fencing can be incredibly low maintenance. Vinyl and composite picket fences, for example, resist weathering, insects, and rot, eliminating the need for frequent painting or repairs. Even traditional wooden picket fences can be treated to withstand the elements, ensuring they remain beautiful for years to come.
Who Should Consider Picket Fencing?
Picket fencing is a versatile and practical solution for a wide range of individuals and properties. Here are some of the people and places that can benefit from picket fencing installation:
Homeowners
For homeowners, picket fencing is an ideal choice to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your property. It’s perfect for front yards, gardens, and backyards, offering a charming boundary that complements your home’s exterior. Whether you live in a suburban neighbourhood or a rural setting, a picket fence adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to your residence.
Families with Children and Pets
Picket fencing is an excellent option for families with young children and pets. The fence provides a safe and secure area for kids to play and pets to roam freely, all while maintaining visibility and an open feel. Parents can enjoy peace of mind knowing that their loved ones are protected within a defined space.
Garden Enthusiasts
If you have a green thumb, picket fencing can be a beautiful addition to your garden. It not only keeps animals out but also adds a decorative element that highlights your plants and flowers. Garden enthusiasts can enjoy a picturesque backdrop for their horticultural endeavours, making their outdoor space even more enjoyable.
Businesses and Commercial Properties
Picket fencing is not limited to residential properties. Businesses and commercial properties can also benefit from its aesthetic appeal and functional advantages. It’s a great way to enhance the exterior of retail stores, restaurants, and office buildings, creating a welcoming environment for customers and clients.
How does a Picket Fencing Installation Process Look?
A great fence starts with a great installation. Picket fencing installation services at Fenceology are designed to be seamless, efficient, and tailored to your specific needs. We will start with an initial consultation, proceed with installation preparation and head to the installation process, which will end with a post-installation inspection.
Preparing for Installation
Depending on your location, certain permits may be required before installing a picket fence. Our team at Fenceology will handle the permit application process for you, ensuring all local regulations and zoning laws are met. Once that is done, we will prepare the site. Proper site preparation is crucial for a successful installation.
This will include clearing the installation area of any debris, vegetation, or existing structures that might obstruct the fence. We also mark out the exact location of the fence line to ensure accuracy.
Finally, before any digging begins, our team will conduct a utility check to locate and mark any underground utilities. This is a critical step to prevent damage to water lines, gas pipes, or electrical cables, ensuring the safety of our team and your property.
Installation Process
The first major step in the installation is setting the fence posts. These provide the structural support for the entire fence, so it’s essential they are installed correctly. Once the posts are set and the concrete has cured, we attach the horizontal rails that will support the pickets.
With the rails in place, it’s time to attach the pickets. Our team ensures each picket is evenly spaced and level, creating a uniform and visually appealing fence. Depending on the design you choose, the pickets can be installed with a gap for an open look or tightly spaced for more privacy.
After all the pickets are installed, we add any finishing touches, such as caps on the posts or decorative elements.

James did really excellent work for me recently building colorbond side fences and a gate. It all looks really great. Relatively small job, but with some challenges, which he handled extremely well. He was professional, friendly, punctual, accommodating and involved me in all decision-making. Highly recommend James and fenceology.

Pauline MacDonald
I spent many hours of web time searching for ‘my dream fence’ and then discovered Fenceology (Melbourne) who have now made my dream come true!
With a house built on a 461m2 corner lot, I couldn’t see a way to escape having fence framing looking back at me from every window of my house on the boundary fence sides. I was looking for symmetry and a fence to compliment my house build – to stand tall and show off my home and Fenceology went ‘above and beyond’ to achieve that for me.

I had James out around six months ago to replace some old fencing. There were some complications with timing my demolition and constantly having to reschedule the fencing. Once this was done, it exposed some neighbouring yard that needed the fencing replaced urgently. James went out of his way to coordinate time to come out and do this job with urgency and also did an incredible once complete. I’d definitely recommend James to anyone looking to have their fencing done and he’ll be no doubt asked to assist me again with other jobs.
Nicoletta Wooster
My dogs managed to get through the fence into the neighbours backyard to play with their dogs. Alex came the following day and secured the fence from this happening again. The whole process was done quickly. Alex manner was calm and respectful. I recommend Fenceology to anyone.
Trinidad Wallace
James came recommended to me by Fercos and I am so glad! I didn’t explain in my initial call that the visit was to fix my pool fence gate so he thought it was to quote for a new fence so he didn’t think he had all the tools necessary. Nevertheless he looked high and low in his car and found what he needed and kindly fixed the gate which was a bit fiddly to fix, and he did a great job. I am so ever grateful for his time and commitment. Highly recommended.
Marina C
Fantastic work by the team at Fenceology at building our fences and gate! Very happy with the fencing and can’t recommend Fenceology enough. Alex was great at organising measurements and quotes and always answered our questions to the best, he was very professional and William did a great job 👏 and even became a good mate of my husband! Nice work Fenceology, we knew we made the right choice doing fencing with you!

Vaasili Leota
My partner & I were very impressed with Alex’s work, Alex installed our fence on our newly built home and everything we asked for, Alex delivered. Alex was very responsive during the whole process. He went above & beyond to make sure our fence was completed on time, despite the weather conditions at the time. Highly recommend Alex for all fencing needs!
George Van Wyk
There aren’t enough words to explain the exemplary service and quality I received from Fenceology and Alex. Very professional and a great job. I had 7 neighbours. Alex did 4 and the other builder did 3 fences. The finish from Fenceology is 150%, the other 3 fences are more like 25%.
When it comes to workmanship and quality I would recommend Fenceology 150%.
Thanks Alex and Team

Working with Fencology had been a great experience! We had the pleasure to work with Antonio, who came over and took all the measurements and discussed what was to happen. He provided a very competitive quote, which we couldn’t say no to. Antonio arrived on the day we agreed on and he got to work. He works solo but it’s amazing how quickly he can get the job done and the quality of work he produces is exceptional. There were some unfortunate hickups with a neighbour who wanted to dispute the quote, however the professionalism from both Antonio and Alex made me feel like I was in safe hands during the management of the issue. Fortunately, those two were able to sort out the issue, and I am now left with a fence I can be proud to call my own.
Peter Bennet
Antonio gave us a good quote and completed the whole job in just 2 days. I’m really impressed with the quality, good solid work and careful attention to detail. Antonio was extremely responsive to our particular wishes and took great care with the existing gardens. Great to work with him, highly recommended!
Christopher Hassett
Antonio at Fenceology was terrific! A 10/10. Not only is the quality of work fantastic but he was able to respond quickly and more his work around to ensure our new house was safe and secure. Highly recommend.
