INVERSE PICKET FENCE PROTOTYPE

We have recently completed a prototype of an alternative fence design. It is an inverse of a traditional picket which uses router technology to cut a pattern into marine plywood. The picket pattern can copy any traditional profile and the fence can be designed to be fully compliant with council codes.

We hope to expand on this idea in future projects.
