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.

Install matching timber picket gate
$400
Kew VIC, Australia
16th Feb 2022
Hi, We live in a townhouse and want to install a gate across the existing opening. Existing central posts are sturdy but showing minor signs of rot at base, but I believe posts have a bit of life left in them yet. Each end of existing fence appears to be mounted to brick walls. We need to keep fence to existing style due to body corp rules, but would like a matching gate to close off opening, as well have a small dog. Space between brick walls in photos is approx 3-metres. Longer fence side near door shown in photos is 1280mm in length from garage to edge of post, 1100mm clear open space and then short length of fence at 650mm. Height to top of pickets is 1150mm, with post knobs extending above that. After a cost to install a suitable timber swing gate complete with gate latch ASAP.


Paul was great with communication and adaptable with working around timing. Great work and exactly what we were after. Would highly recommend.

Canterbury VIC, Australia

Build a picket front fence as per the attached plans (slight amendment - we will break the long section into 4 sections, rather than the 3 sections shown on the plans). Total fence length is 13.5m, with picket height set at 1250mm, and the plinth angled to adjust to the fall in ground level in each section. 1 steel frame pedestrian gate and 1 letter box to be included, along with 9 posts including the posts at either end of the fence, and the gate posts. Pickets and posts are to have arched tops, as per the attached examples (paddle pop style). Rails and plinth to be morticed in the middle of the posts as per the attached photo. Posts to be minimum 100mm x 100mm, pickets to be ~80mm wide. Photos of the area where the fence will be installed are shown at the red brick house. Pedestrian gate posts will be installed in the middle of the existing path. Posts to be installed by digging a hole (I will cut through the pavers if needed). The existing yellow paving will be paved over on completion of the fence. We are looking to start ASAP, but equally happy to start later if the right Airtasker is available..
