This 6ft x 2ft Round Top Picket Fence Panel is a tidy, friendly looking option for marking out a boundary while keeping the garden open. At 2ft high it’s ideal for front gardens, edging along paths, and separating borders from lawns without blocking light. Round top pickets give a softer profile than pointed tops, which many people prefer for family gardens and more informal spaces.
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 apart, giving that classic picket look and a consistent finish along a run. Because the design is open, it provides definition without the fence feeling heavy, and it works nicely alongside planting as it doesn’t create a solid wall behind beds and shrubs.
Picket fencing is also practical in day-to-day use. It keeps sight lines open around entrances and driveways, and it allows air through, which can help in exposed front gardens. The low height makes it easier to step the fence on slight slopes while keeping the top line neat and avoiding big gaps at the bottom.
For the best finish, keep the bottom edge off the ground and aim for consistent post centres so the panel sits comfortably in each bay. It’s worth measuring the full run before you start, then planning where corners, returns, and any gates will sit. That helps you avoid ending up with a short bay that looks out of place.
This panel can be used with either timber or concrete posts. Timber posts keep a traditional all-wood look, while concrete posts can be a practical choice where you want a more rigid structure. If you need posts to suit your build, see our fence posts, including wooden fence posts and concrete fence posts. For other heights and styles, browse our picket fence panels.
Installed level with a small ground clearance, this 6ft x 2ft round top panel gives a neat, traditional boundary that looks good without taking over the space.
