Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these boards suitable for ground contact?

While pressure-treated, it is best practice to keep timber fences off the soil to extend their lifespan.

Do I need to paint them immediately?

No, the pressure treatment provides initial protection. You can wait a few weeks for the wood to dry out completely before applying a finish.

Can I use these for decking?

No, these boards are designed for vertical picket fencing and are not engineered to handle the load-bearing requirements of decking.

How many boards are in a pack?

Each purchase contains 10 individual picket boards.

What type of screws should I use?

Use high-quality exterior-grade or stainless steel screws to prevent rust and black staining on the wood.

Can I cut these to size?

Yes, they can be easily cut with a standard handsaw or power saw. Remember to treat any cut ends with a wood preservative to maintain the integrity of the treatment.

Troubleshooting

Boards appearing slightly damp or discolored upon delivery

This is a normal result of the pressure-treatment process; allow the boards to air dry in a well-ventilated area before installation or painting.

Splitting at the end of the board during nailing

Pre-drill pilot holes slightly smaller than your screw shank to reduce stress on the timber fibers.

Natural warping or bowing

Secure boards tightly to both the top and bottom rails to force alignment, and store boards flat on a level surface until installation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable 22mm thickness for structural integrity
  • Pressure-treated for improved weather resistance
  • Pre-cut 900mm size simplifies installation
  • Classic visual appeal for garden boundaries

Cons

  • Requires regular sealing or painting to maintain appearance
  • Natural timber can expand or shrink based on humidity
  • Standard picket profile may not suit ultra-modern designs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For installation, ensure you use corrosion-resistant fasteners to prevent staining the timber. Begin by setting your fence posts into concrete, then secure two horizontal rails to the posts. Space your picket boards evenly; a wooden spacer block can help maintain consistent gaps. Regarding care, while pressure-treated, the wood remains susceptible to UV degradation. It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality wood preservative, stain, or exterior-grade paint within the first few months of installation to protect the timber from moisture ingress and bleaching.
