Styles of Pickets

At Viking Fence, we can shape our Western Red Cedar boards to suit your wooden fence needs. Some of the most popular shapes pickets can take include dog-ear, straight, gothic, and French gothic. The differences between these picket styles are apparent at their tops. The basic variations between picket styles include:

  • Straight pickets are flat at the top
  • Dog-ear pickets are shaped like a half of a hexagon on the top
  • Gothic pickets are similar to dog-ear pickets, except they are more rounded
  • The tops of French gothic pickets almost look like spearheads

Straight and dog-ear pickets are popular for their simplicity and versatility, whereas gothic and French gothic pickets are chosen for their elegant appearances.
