Product Information

Full details

The Snowdon Timber Treated Round Top Picket Fence Board 10-pack is designed for homeowners and landscapers seeking a classic, uniform aesthetic for garden borders or decorative boundaries. These boards provide excellent durability due to their pressure-treated softwood construction, making them a reliable choice for outdoor perimeter projects; however, as natural wood, they will require periodic sealing or staining to maintain their brown finish and protect against long-term weathering.

FAQs

Can these boards be painted?

Yes, once the boards have fully dried from their pressure treatment, they can be painted or stained with exterior-grade wood paint.

How should I store the boards before installation?

Store them in a dry, well-ventilated area, preferably flat on bearers to allow airflow and prevent warping.

Are these boards suitable for ground contact?

While pressure-treated, it is highly recommended to mount them above ground level on rails to significantly extend their lifespan.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a drill, spirit level, measuring tape, hammer or impact driver, and galvanized fixings.

What is the thickness of each picket?

Each board is 20mm thick, providing a balance of strength and manageability.

Troubleshooting

Wood splitting during installation

Always pre-drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than your screw diameter to reduce tension on the board.

Discoloration or fading

Apply an exterior-grade wood stain or UV-protective oil to restore the brown tone and protect against sunlight.

Board warping or bowing

Ensure boards are securely fixed to horizontal rails at both the top and bottom to maintain structural integrity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Durable pressure-treated finish for enhanced rot resistance
Classic round-top design offers a timeless garden aesthetic
Consistent dimensions ensure a uniform finish across the entire fence line
Pre-cut length of 1.2m minimizes cutting time for standard height borders

Cons

Requires ongoing maintenance to prevent wood color fading over time
Softwood may be susceptible to impacts or scratches compared to hardwood
Requires additional purchase of horizontal rails and fasteners for assembly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For setup, you will need horizontal support rails, a spirit level to ensure a straight line, and exterior-rated wood screws or nails. It is recommended to use a pilot hole before driving screws to prevent the softwood from splitting. Compatibility-wise, these boards integrate seamlessly with standard garden fencing posts and rails. Regarding care, while the wood is pressure-treated, it is not waterproof. To maintain the aesthetic quality of the brown finish, apply a high-quality exterior wood preservative or stain annually. During installation, avoid cutting the boards in a way that exposes untreated internal wood; if you must cut them, apply a timber treatment solution to the exposed end grain to ensure it remains protected from moisture ingress.
