Round top picket fence panels

Round Top Picket Fence Panels

Our round top picket fence panels are expertly constructed from pressure-treated brown sawn timber, delivering timeless style and long-term durability for front and back garden spaces. These traditional timber panels feature a decorative curved finish along the top edge — often known as the “round top” — offering a softer, more welcoming aesthetic that pairs well with classic or modern landscapes.

Each panel is manufactured using high-quality planed ex 75mm x 22mm picket boards, affixed to robust ex 50mm x 35mm backing rails. This provides a substantial, heavy-duty fencing solution that not only defines property boundaries but also enhances kerb appeal. For customers seeking even greater strength, our 4ft high panels come equipped with an additional third rail as standard, reinforcing panel rigidity where wind loading or footfall proximity is higher.

Size Options and Customisation

Our round top picket fencing is available in both 6ft and 7ft width options, with height variants at 2ft, 2ft 6in, 3ft, and 4ft. These multiple sizes allow for tailored installations based on privacy needs, aesthetic preferences, or local regulations. For bespoke requirements, we offer custom sizing built to order — including an upgrade to 3×2 backing rails where extra strength is needed.

The flexibility in sizes makes these panels ideal for a range of settings:

• 2ft – 3ft panels are perfect for front gardens or areas where visibility is essential.
• 4ft panels offer enhanced privacy while preserving an open, friendly look.

If a client prefers half-pail tops (a flatter finish), this adjustment can be made at no extra cost — particularly when installing with timber posts. This additional flexibility caters to both traditional and contemporary garden designs.

Installation Versatility

These picket panels can be mounted in multiple ways:

• Slotted concrete posts: for long-term durability and low maintenance.
• Timber posts: where a fully wooden finish is preferred — using screws for direct mounting.

This adaptability makes the panels suitable for both new installations and replacement fencing within existing post systems. Their pressure-treated timber construction ensures resistance to rot and fungal decay, prolonging lifespan without the need for immediate treatment after installation.

Pressure-Treated Timber Benefits

The use of pressure-treated brown sawn timber enhances the natural resistance of the wood, making the fence more resilient to weather exposure, insects, and moisture. This gives customers peace of mind that their fencing investment will retain its strength and appearance for years with only minimal maintenance.

Common Use Cases

• Front garden perimeter fencing
• Sectioning off lawns or pathways
• Safe and stylish child or pet enclosures
• Allotments, parks, and light commercial settings

Sustainability and Aftercare

All timber used is responsibly sourced and treated in accordance with environmental best practices. To maintain the finish, an annual top-up of wood treatment or stain is recommended — particularly in exposed areas. Occasional cleaning and light sanding will also keep the panels looking fresh and reduce the risk of moss or mildew.
