When a home is a classic cape cod or other traditional American design the landscape is never complete without a white picket fence. Featured in movies such as It’s a Wonderful Life the white fence with gate adorns homes from Maine to California.

Like any wood product the knock against a wooden fence is that sooner or later it has to be painted and, in extreme cases, replaced. And as with other wood surfaces that are exposed to the elements the first two years look great and then the finish becomes chalky for next few years until the inevitable cracking of the paint occurs.

Many products have been brought out to replace the traditional wood white picket fence. Powder-coated aluminum and vinyl-coated steel are becoming popular but these are expensive and the coating can be nicked causing corrosion. Vinyl fences are inexpensive but tend to lose their finish after years of exposure to ultra-violet rays.

Patrician Picket Fence Section HDPE is a great way to add a traditional look to your yard without the cost or maintenance. Unlike vinyl products the material for this fencing is high-density polyethylene which is three-times thicker than vinyl and not susceptible to cracking in lower temperatures. Patrician products are extruded, which means that they are force-molded for a high-impact construction.

The the other advantage that polyethylene has over vinyl is that it can be assembled with screws, nails and staples without the need for drilling holes. Vinyl is more brittle and won’t accept nails or staples.

For easy installation and a lifetime of value a Patrician Picket Fence Section HDPE  makes a great fence.
