For a bespoke open boundary, the 0.9m x 75x19mm Round Top Picket Pale - Pressure Treated Green/Natural provides a 0.9m-long, 75 x 19mm timber component that can be spaced and fixed individually rather than relying on a pre-built panel. Its round top makes the shape of each pale visible, so the finished fence has a clear repeating profile as well as an open structure.
At 0.9m long, this pale creates a compact open boundary rather than a privacy screen. The rounded head gives the finished run a gentler appearance than a point-top fence and works particularly well where the fence is intended to frame planting rather than dominate it.
The green/natural pressure-treated finish keeps the appearance close to freshly treated timber while providing preservative protection for exterior use. Treatment colour, knots and grain will vary naturally, and the initial green tone will mellow with exposure.
Plan the run around sound posts and horizontal rails before setting the pales. A consistent spacer helps keep the gaps uniform, while a string line across the tops can prevent the fence from gradually rising or falling from one pale to the next. Because this is open fencing, reducing the gaps changes the appearance but does not turn it into the same kind of solid screen as a closeboard panel.
Loose pales are useful for irregular run lengths and local repairs because only the required pieces need to be cut or replaced. For a standardised panel format, the picket fence panels range may be more convenient; for bespoke construction, use suitable wooden fence posts and exterior fixings appropriate to the rails and pale thickness.
The picket pales category contains the alternative 0.9m and 1.2m sizes in both point-top and round-top designs. If the fence also requires access, a compatible style can be selected from our picket gates range.
