Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put a picket fence in my front yard?
Yes, most municipalities allow fences up to 4 feet tall in front yards.
Wood or vinyl for pickets?
Vinyl is incredibly popular for picket fences because the classic 'white picket fence' look requires constant painting if made of wood.
