Picket Fence — what we stock
The picket fence is heritage Canadiana. The 3′ or 4′ white-picket front-yard fence with the painted gate and the formal scalloped top-rail evokes Maritime cottage, Ontario heritage, and Quebec village aesthetics simultaneously. Fenced.ca stocks picket in wood (cedar or PT pine), vinyl (white, almond, grey), and aluminum (black, bronze, white). Profiles run from utilitarian flat-top through dog-ear (45° cut corners), gothic point, French gothic with rounded base, and decorative pyramid finials.
Engineering: picket is structurally undemanding — the open mesh of vertical pickets doesn't catch wind the way solid privacy does. 4×4 posts at 6′–8′ centres for wood, vinyl-sleeve-over-wood-core at 8′ for vinyl, factory-routed posts at 8′ for aluminum. Posts to frost depth.
Municipal compliance: most Canadian cities cap front-yard fence height at 1.2 m / 4′ to preserve corner-lot daylight triangles and pedestrian sightlines. Picket fits this perfectly. Heritage districts often have specific picket profile and colour requirements — Westmount, Old Town Toronto, Victoria's Beacon Hill, Old Quebec all maintain heritage guidelines. Our heritage-replica picket profiles are pre-approved in several heritage districts; ask the design team.
Picket styles: Classic 1×4 pointed (suburban front yards), Cape Cod scalloped (heritage), dog-ear (utility), and square-top (modern). Pickets typically 80–95 mm wide with 40–50 mm gaps for the open-airy look.
Material choice: PT pine is the price leader. Cedar for premium look + natural rot resistance. Vinyl for zero-maintenance. Composite for marine-grade applications. Painted white vinyl pickets dominate east-coast and Ontario heritage neighbourhoods.
Heights: 0.9 m (3 ft) for front-yard decorative — does not require permits in most Canadian municipalities. 1.2 m (4 ft) for child-safe boundary. Heights above 1.5 m typically need a building permit and may trigger setback rules from property line.
Pricing & lead time: Picket fence pricing: PT pine 3-foot runs $20–35 LF installed, cedar pointed 3-foot at $30–50 LF, vinyl white picket at $35–55 LF, composite picket at $50–80 LF. Painted/stained finish adds $5–10 LF. Lead time 5–10 business days for stock; custom heights add 1 week. Permit-exempt in most provinces at heights ≤0.9 m.
