Who doesn’t love a good picket fence? There are generations raised with beautiful, white picket fences, and it’s an aesthetic many communities and families are bringing back to life. In many old TV series and films, we saw kids playing outside, tossing a baseball or so in the front yard with a white picket fence. The nostalgia homeowners feel about a picket fence can’t be beat.
Though their design seems charming, early colonists designed this fence with a less-than-charming purpose. The sharp points on traditional picket fences were designed to defend homes and property as they doubled as weapons.
We love wood picket fences because they bring a charm and cozy feeling to any home and property. They protect your children and pets from running into the streets and traffic without being an eyesore. These wood fences are great for front and back yards to maintain a matching style.
Whether it’s privacy or nostalgia, wood fencing provides a long-lasting option.
