What do picket fencing services include?
Picket fencing installation services generally include the entire process, from marking the fenced area to hanging up the gate. This covers bringing the necessary tools for the job.
Some Taskers may offer related services, such as purchasing the materials from the hardware store on your behalf, talking with utility companies to make sure they don’t hit your water or power lines, and even processing the building permits. When it comes to the actual installation process, this is how it will usually go for each project:
Digging the post holes
Once utility lines have been marked, and the property line has been defined, your Tasker digs a 25 cm (10 inch) diameter hole with a shovel. They'll dig as deeply as possible without hitting any wires, pipes, or lines. After they hit around 81 cm (32 inches), they'll start setting the first post.
Next, the fence installer adds 20 cm (8 inches) of soil and ensures the post is level. They'll pack the bottom of the post with soil using a tamping bar and then add 20 cm more soil. They'll do this until the entire hole is filled, making sure that the post stays level. Finally, the fence installer uses a mason's line to measure and position the corners of the fence.
Setting the post holes
Your Tasker then slides the panel's rales into the first post's mortises, adjusting until the top rail is level. If the post has no mortises, the installer props the panel up so that the bottom is 5 to 12 centimetres off the ground and the top rail is level. They'll check if each side is level, then screw the rails to the post.
Your fence installer proceeds to check the gaps between pickets and between a picket and post. Next, they'll fill in the post holes and ensure that each part is level and plumb. Finally, they'll secure the rail with screws. Afterwards, they'll repeat this step until all the fence panels have been secured.
Setting up the gate
The first gate post is installed pretty much like the first fence post. Your Tasker then measures the gate's width, adds around 4 cm, then digs the hole for the second gate post. Just like with the fence posts, they'll fill the hole, tamp it with soil, then check that the post is level and plumb.
Picket panel installation
After this, they'll install the fence panel on the side of the second gate post to stabilise it. Then, the installer uses wedges to level the gate. After lining up the pickets and leaving a two-inch gap between the gate and post, they'll hang the gate and screw on the hinges. After checking the gate swing, they'll put on the latch and nail caps to the post tops. And that's it! You can now do a quality check on your new picket fence, then send the Tasker on their way.

Repaint a timber picket fence
$300
Morningside QLD, Australia
1st Mar 2023
Unsure of likely cost. Please provide quotes. Does not have to be done on 31 March. The task is to repaint a timber picket fence (both sides) and timber and metal poles in their existing colours. Parts of the fence have already been repainted (poorly) but will still need going over. A section behind a hedge (one side) could be excluded if too difficult. Sections are approximately 20 m and 12.5 m. The fence is approximately 1.2 m high. Happy for it to be sprayed if possible, however their are some plants near the fence which will need to be avoided. Not overly concerned about a perfect finish, just aiming to tidy up / protect the fence. I will supply paint. - Due date: Flexible

Construct & install 2 picket gates
$500
Hawthorne Queensland, Australia
19th Oct 2020
Apologies, this task was posted previously, but delayed due to circumstances. I’m looking for a handy person who can build and install lockable picket gates on either side of my house. The gates are a very simple Queenslander style (as per the front gate in photo 3). The 2 side areas requiring gates are in photos 1 and 2. Side 1 is 138cm house to fence, Side 2 is 134cm house to fence. We'd like the gates to be lockable with a key lock, not a padlock, please. It would be great if you could show pics of previous gates / fences you’ve installed, or to have fence and gate experience. Payment is for time only. (I’ll reimburse for materials in cash). Please quote based on an estimate for time. I think it’s a 2 day job. Prep and gates construction on day 1 and installation of gates on day 2. Cheers Dave 😃
