fences, buck style and any style,
are especially fitting.
But intermixed with all the
others from Labrador to Laredo,
the white picket fence always
holds its own. This is a Colonial
heritage. It came from the
English cottage and it rhymes
with little white houses with
green shutters. And white
houses still swing the votes.
OF course. picket fences cost
money today because of the price
Of lumber. But the do-it-yourselt
fashion, which has been speeded
up by labor costs, partly offsets
that expense and gives the
handy man a healthy outlet for
his energy.
You can buy fence pickets
ready made and bundled at lum-
Der supply houses. They come in
several standard lengths and
widths. You can select picket
tops in four or five patterns, or
you can shape them to suit. It's
easy to design your own, using
simple straight saw cuts at vari-
Gus angles, boring holes for ad-
ded decoration, rounding corners
and what-not.
Here are a few tips on build
ing picket fence:
Most fences of this type are
3 to 4 feet high.

It's easy to sing Don't Fence
Me In" but in many places a
fence is virtually part of the
house. Although essentially util-
itarian-to keep animals away
and little children from running
away-a fence also can be used
merely for decoration.
The only hazard in making a
fence part of your architectural
design is the risk Of cutenesS.
Maybe you first met your wife

will be nailed to these stringers.
Regular 4x4s, about 5 feet long,
are adequate for posts. This
length allows a 2-foot anchorage

wood preservatives. # the posts
