This 6ft x 2ft Point Top Picket Fence Panel is a simple, traditional way to define a boundary without making the garden feel shut in. At 2ft high it’s well suited to front gardens, edging along paths and driveways, and separating planting areas from lawns. Picket fencing keeps sight lines open, which can be handy around entrances and parking areas, while still giving a clear, finished border.
The panel is pressure treated for outdoor use and built from thirteen 75 x 19mm picket pales fixed to two 75 x 32mm back rails. The pales are spaced at roughly 75mm, giving a consistent look along a run and the familiar picket style that suits everything from cottages to newer builds. The pointed top finish gives a sharper profile and a more traditional feel, making it a popular choice for front-of-house fencing where you want a classic look.
Because the fence is open rather than solid, it tends to feel lighter in smaller spaces and doesn’t dominate planting. It also allows air to move through, which can be useful in exposed front gardens where solid panels can feel like they catch the wind. On sloping ground, low picket fencing is also easier to step neatly, helping you keep the top line tidy without big gaps under the fence.
For the best long-term result, keep the bottom edge off the soil and avoid letting mulch or gravel build up against the timber. When setting out a run, measure the total length and think about where corners, returns, and gates will sit. A bit of planning upfront usually gives a cleaner finish and saves time on site.
This panel can be used with timber or concrete posts depending on the look and the conditions. If you’re choosing posts as part of the job, see our fence posts range, including wooden fence posts and concrete fence posts. For matching heights and top styles, browse our picket fence panels.
With its pointed tops and neat spacing, this 6ft x 2ft picket panel gives you a clean boundary line that looks traditional and stays practical.
