If you think you have ran out of ideas to make your yard and garden more beautiful than it already is, don’t you think it is time for you to build a good old white picket fence around it? Putting up a picket fence in your open yard is rewarding. Discover just how a simple picket fence can highlight your garden and make it look more inviting to you and your guests. All you need is just a bit of time and a bit of effort. You don’t even need to be a master carpenter to build one.

Before putting up your picket fence, it is always wise to check with your local officials and learn about building codes for any rules or restrictions in building fences in your community. Check out if you’ll need permission to build a picket fence at home. You also wouldn’t want to take up part of your neighbor’s lot. So before getting started with your project, check and double check property lines making sure that your fence is where it’s supposed to be.

Get started by placing corner posts first so you’ll create your fence’s perimeter. Be sure the lines and gate posts sink in properly. For optimum durability, digging a maximum of 30 inches for your posts will do.

Ideally, line posts should be around 6 to 8 feet apart. As you have done in your lay out, start with your end and corner posts first. Your pickets are then ready to be placed. To keep the spacing constant, you can make use of a spacer board to determine that correct distance of you pickets. Voila! Your garden’s classic picket fence is now ready.
