Wellington Picket Fencing
Few fences say "home" like a crisp picket line out front. We build classic timber and low-maintenance PVC picket fencing that adds character and charm while defining your boundary beautifully.
Picket Fencing Services in Wellington
A tired, leaning front fence can drag down the look of an otherwise lovely home, and mismatched palings never quite deliver that welcoming cottage feel people are after. If you want a boundary with genuine street appeal — something charming, tidy, and built properly — a picket fence is a classic for good reason. Our picket fencing Wellington service brings that timeless look to your property, made to measure and built to sit straight for years.
We work in both natural timber and durable PVC, so you can have the traditional character of painted wood or the wipe-clean ease of vinyl. Our experienced fence installers handle the spacings, post depths, and finishes that make the difference between a fence that lasts and one that sags, giving you a result you'll be proud to pull up to.

Benefits of a Picket Fence
Instant Charm
A picket fence adds character and warmth that few other styles match, lifting the kerb appeal of villas, cottages, and modern homes alike.
Defines Without Blocking
Spaced pickets mark your boundary and keep pets and kids in, while still letting light and a friendly outlook through.
Timber or PVC
Choose the natural look of painted or stained timber, or maintenance-free PVC that never needs repainting.
Fully Customisable
Picket shape, spacing, height, and colour are all up to you, so the fence suits your home rather than the other way round.
Adds Value
A neat, well-built front fence makes a strong first impression and can lift the appeal of your property to buyers.
Built Straight
Proper posts and footings mean your fence stays level and true, even through Wellington's wind and wet winters.
Picket Styles and Finishes
The beauty of a picket fence is how easily it can be tailored. Small choices in shape and finish completely change the character of the fence.
You can mix and match:
- Flat-top, round-top, or pointed pickets
- Traditional white or heritage colours
- Natural stain or clear-oiled timber
- Wide or narrow picket spacing
- Matching pedestrian and garden gates
- Decorative post caps and rails
Perfect Spots for Picket Fencing
Picket fences shine anywhere you want charm without a solid wall of timber. They're especially at home around the front of a property.
Great uses include:
- Front yard and street boundaries
- Cottage and villa gardens
- Defining a lawn or flower bed
- Enclosing a safe play area
- Framing a path or entryway
- Dividing zones within a larger garden

Picket Fencing FAQs
Timber gives you that authentic, classic character and can be painted or stained any colour. PVC costs a little more up front but never needs repainting and won't rot or warp. If low maintenance is your priority, PVC is hard to beat; if you love the natural look, timber wins.
Timber benefits from a repaint or re-stain every few years to keep it looking its best and protect it from the weather. It's straightforward work, and we can advise on the right products. PVC pickets simply need an occasional wash.
Yes, as long as we set the height and picket spacing to suit your dog. We'll ask about your pets and design the fence so gaps are small enough and the height is right, with a self-latching gate if you'd like one.
Most low residential picket fences don't need consent, but front boundaries facing the road can have height limits for visibility. We'll check the local rules for your property and keep the design compliant.
