Picket Fence
A picket fence is a decorative fencing style made up of evenly spaced vertical boards, known as pickets, attached to horizontal rails. While traditionally made of wood, modern picket fences at OK Vinyl Products are crafted using low-maintenance materials like vinyl, aluminum, and ornamental iron. These fences are ideal for defining spaces without creating full enclosure—perfect for front yards, gardens, patios, and pathways.
We offer both open picket (with spacing between boards) and closed picket (for more coverage and structure) designs, in multiple material options and finishes.

Install & Walk-Through
Picket fences are primarily decorative and are not designed for full privacy. However, closed picket styles—where pickets are spaced more tightly—offer more visual separation than open picket styles.
“Open Picket” & “Closed Picket” refers to how the picket is finished at the top NOT how the pickets are spaced. Open Picket means that the pickets are capped off at the top. Open Picket styles can include dog-ear caps, pointed caps for vinyl fencing and spear-top and finials for aluminum or iron fencing. Closed picket refers to fences that have a flat rail on top. Sometimes referred to as a flat-top fence.
Yes—vinyl picket fences require far less maintenance, won’t rot or splinter, and never need painting or staining. They retain their colour and shape for years and are perfect for anyone who wants a classic look without the upkeep.
No—our aluminum and ornamental iron fences are powder-coated for maximum rust and corrosion resistance. They’re engineered to withstand harsh weather and require very little maintenance.
Absolutely! We offer different picket top styles (flat, pointed, dog-ear, etc.), post caps, fence heights, colours, and spacing options. Our team can help you design the perfect picket fence to complement your home or property.
With proper installation and quality materials, vinyl, aluminum, and ornamental iron picket fences can last decades. Vinyl typically lasts 20–30+ years, while aluminum and iron fences may last even longer with minimal maintenance.
Vinyl is often preferred for residential front yards due to its clean look and zero maintenance. For a more modern or upscale appearance, aluminum or ornamental iron are excellent options.
Permit requirements vary by municipality. While picket fences are generally permitted without issue, some towns may have height or placement restrictions. We recommend checking with your local bylaw office or asking our team during the planning process.
