Small Picket Fencing

Small picket fencing can be used for a whole manner of different purposes. It might be the case that you require some form of fencing to help mark out the perimeter or boundaries of the land around your house.

Fencing could also be used as a security measure to stop any unwanted intruders from entering your property. A picket fence can help to keep small children and pets in and around your house too. You don’t want small children running off from your house and into a busy main road, so a picket fence will help to confine them to the house and garden.

Fencing That Catches the Eye

Small picket fencing can also help to add beauty and style to your home. This simple, yet effective type of fencing is extremely popular with many people in the United Kingdom who choose this type of fencing to go in their home or garden.

Get Creative

Many people enjoy the simplistic, traditional and classic look that small picket fencing can bring to a house. Other people might consider a white picket fence to be a little plain or boring and want a fence that will be a bit more unconventional or leftfield.

If this is the case then you can start to get really creative and paint your picket fence in whatever colour you think works best. You might want it to match the existing colour of your property or match any theme your already have running throughout your garden. You can go really wild or zany and paint your fence in a variety of bright colours.

This would certainly help to create a talking point amongst your neighbours! Ultimately, the decision is up to you. You can either stick with tradition or go wild with you picket fencing.

Ongoing Care

One thing to bear in mind with white small picket fencing is that it can often require a lot of maintenance. Anything that is painted white can often get quite dirty or grubby looking, especially if it is outdoors for a long period of time, so regular painting, maintenance and treatment will help to keep your fence looking as good as new.

Treatment with some sort of varnish or creosote will help to stop the wood from becoming damaged or rotting and can help to make the fence last much longer than it would do otherwise. Even though small picket fencing does require ongoing care, it can still look great outside your property.
