You might have imagined at some point in your life owning a home with a cute, white picket fence surrounding it, then talking to a professional contractor about installing a picket fence around your home may be a great idea. There are several benefits beyond childhood dreams of a quaint cottage to have a picket fence in Milwaukee installed.

When you want something that is unobtrusive but still gives your property an element of property division from your other neighbors, a short picket fencing in Milwaukee may be a good option. Many people simply install a very short—under a foot tall, for example—around their garden or flowerbeds for this reason. They want the division from their neighbors or like the idea of having distinct sections in their yard but are not as concerned about the other reasons that people choose to install fences, such as privacy and security, or keeping people out of your property.

It is still very possible to have a picket fence as well as privacy and security. When many people envision picket fencing, they envision short fences with spaces in between each post. However, a picket fence in Milwaukee can be installed to be much taller with smaller space or no space in between posts. When you are installing a taller picket fence, however, you should be sure that you could commit to the maintenance it may require. For example, when you install panels so close together, they are at increased risk of bowing and warping, so you will want to make sure that you take care of your fence properly.

If you do decide to get one of the traditional picket fences with the gaps in between each of the pickets, you may be able to save some money and you will not have to be quite so concerned about maintenance. Because of the gaps between each of the pickets, each panel is less prone to bowing and warping. You can still have some semblance of privacy, as the gaps do not have to be so wide apart. Gaps from one to six inches apart are standard and although a picket fence in Milwaukee is typically four to six feet tall, it can be taller than this depending on your wishes and needs.

When you are thinking about installing a new fence, you should think seriously about a picket fence. There are many advantages that you will experience when you have a new picket fence installed, including a more traditional look and can even provide increased security depending on the height and how far apart the pickets are you want installed.
