1.7m Post to suit 1.2m Recycled Plastic Picket Pale System

Picket pale fencing is a classic style often linked to American homes and gardens, featuring evenly spaced vertical boards attached to horizontal rails, typically with pointed, flat, or decorative tops.

Picket fences are traditionally made from wood but are also available in modern materials like vinyl, metal, and recycled plastics. Their classic appearance creates a welcoming atmosphere, often boosting the kerb appeal of homes and gardens. The clean lines and simplicity of picket fencing make it a versatile option that suits a wide range of landscaping styles, from traditional to contemporary.

Though not intended for high security, picket fences effectively define property boundaries, offering an open feel with their spaced pales that maintain visibility while providing a barrier. Picket pale fencing is ideal for protecting garden beds, lining paths, surrounding parks and playgrounds, and enhancing the entrance of businesses with a welcoming, decorative touch.

We suggest twin flight, parallel thread, coarse pitch screws, similar to those used with wooden particle boards or hi-low screws, to fix this system. Note that these are not included with the product.

Introducing Recycled Plastic Picket Pale Fencing

Recycled plastic picket pale fencing is a product in First Fence's plastic line, which also features knee rail fencing, post and rail fencing, and closed board

The picket pale fencing products are crafted from Plaswood, a material made from recycled plastic that replicates the appearance of real wood. Plaswood offers additional benefits, including resistance to rot, warping, and moisture, as well as being splinter-free and able to withstand various weather conditions and temperature changes. Once installed, it requires no maintenance, and can be washed to remove any dirt.

The 1.7m picket pale fencing post, sized at 1700mm x 100mm x 100mm, is available in black or brown. It is designed to complement the recycled plastic pales and rails from the same range, enabling you to build a fence of any length. This post is meant for dig-in installation and requires one bag of post mix per post to ensure stability.

The recycled plastic picket post needs to be dug 500mm into the ground to form a 1.2m high system, posts should be set at 1.5m centres. The posts, pales and rails can be fixed in place with twin flight, parallel thread, coarse pitch screws, similar to those used with wooden particle boards or hi-low screws.

Leave a 100mm gap between the ground and the bottom of the pales.
