Wood fences are typically constructed to be around six feet tall. This height, combined with closely spaced slats, serves the primary purpose of providing privacy and creating a secure barrier. However, if privacy is not a major concern, wood picket fences are an alternative. These are usually much shorter and have wider gaps between the slats, offering a more open and decorative appearance. Wood picket fences are often used to enhance the aesthetic appeal of a property while still providing some level of boundary definition.
