Why choose untreated Douglas wood?
Douglas wood has a naturally high durability, which makes it well suited to outdoor applications. Unlike many impregnated softwoods, this product is supplied untreated and does not require chemical impregnation to achieve its natural durability characteristics.
The untreated construction also allows the natural appearance of the Douglas timber to remain visible. This makes the fence an attractive choice for gardens where a natural wooden aesthetic is important.
Douglas can also be an environmentally friendly alternative to impregnated pine or fir where avoiding chemically treated timber is preferred.
How to install a Douglas picket fence
Step-by-step installation
- Measure the fence line. Determine the total length of the boundary and calculate how many 180cm-wide panels are required.
- Plan the post positions. Mark the locations of the supporting posts according to the panel dimensions.
- Install the supports or posts. Secure the supporting structure firmly and check that it is level and aligned.
- Use post supports where required. Suitable post supports, such as point post holders and L-brackets, can be used for fixing and mounting.
- Position the panel. Place the 70cm-high Douglas picket fence panel between the supporting points.
- Secure the fence. Fix the panel securely using suitable outdoor-rated fasteners.
- Check the alignment. Ensure the panel is level and forms a consistent line with adjoining sections.
- Continue along the boundary. Install the remaining panels while maintaining consistent spacing and alignment.
- Add a matching gate if required. A Douglas garden gate can provide convenient access while maintaining a coordinated natural appearance.
- Inspect the installation. Check the panels, supports and fixings to ensure the finished fence is stable.
Installation tip: untreated Douglas wood naturally develops a different appearance over time when exposed to outdoor weather. If you want to maintain a particular colour or finish, choose an appropriate exterior wood treatment according to the manufacturer's instructions.
70cm Douglas picket fence for gardens
The 70cm height makes this fence suitable for defining garden areas without creating a tall or enclosed barrier. It can be used around front gardens, lawns, flower beds, paths and planted areas.
The 180cm panel width offers practical coverage for garden boundaries, while the traditional picket style creates a clear but open separation between different areas.
100% FSC certified Douglas wood
The product is made from 100% FSC certified Douglas wood. FSC certification supports responsible forest management and provides an important consideration for customers looking for responsibly sourced timber.
Combined with the fact that the Douglas wood is untreated and not chemically impregnated, this makes the fence a natural alternative to traditionally treated softwood fencing.
Matching Douglas garden gate
A matching Douglas garden gate is available as an option. A coordinated gate can be used to create an entrance through the picket fence while maintaining the natural appearance of the Douglas timber.
This is particularly useful for front gardens, garden paths and enclosed lawn or planting areas that require regular access.
Post supports for mounting
Suitable post supports are available as options for fixing and mounting the fence. These include point post holders and L-brackets for suitable installation situations.
Choose the appropriate support and fixing method according to the ground conditions and the specific installation. A properly supported fence helps maintain alignment and stability over time.
Natural alternative to impregnated fencing
If you prefer a natural wooden fence without chemical impregnation, this Douglas picket fence is an attractive alternative. Douglas wood combines natural durability with a distinctive appearance, making it suitable for garden fencing where aesthetics and material choice are important.
The untreated surface also allows the wood to age naturally outdoors, creating a changing appearance as it is exposed to weather and sunlight.
Alternative: Rustic Chestnut Fencing
If you are looking for a more rustic and informal garden boundary, consider chestnut fencing. Chestnut provides a natural traditional appearance and works particularly well in country gardens, natural landscaping and informal outdoor spaces.
