    Hi

    Going to put up a section of picket fence to the side of the house.

    Want the tops to be a triangle rather than rounded.

    Prefer to buy as individual lats. Build a nice strong fence and screw on the lats.

    Tried a couple local places. Firstly most seem to only carry ones with rounded tops. Second they mainly see to be full sections say 4 foot long of fence.

    Any ideas?

    Building the same kind of fences here ourselves at the moment. Easiest, strongest quality way we found to do it is to do it all ourselves.

    Have you a chop saw? Or could get a lend of one? Very easy to do if you do. A skill saw can be used as well, but a little bit more fiddly to get all the cuts the same.

    You could see if a local saw mill would do it for you?

    I think I've only seen rounded tops though for sale. And the panels you can buy are usually of poor enough quality.
