Arched Capped Picket by Fraser Pickets in Melbourne, Victoria.
Fraser Pickets gave Australian Fencing Awards some key information on their Arched Capped Picket project.
Challenges involved in the project
- The challenge of finding symmetry in the overall layout. With an Automatic Sliding Driveway Gate at one end and a Double Swing Driveway Gate at the opposite end (for caravan/boat parking) that had a 300mm drop away in the footpath.
