ABSTRACT:
A picket fence assembly is provided which includes uniquely configured pickets which facilitate fast and easy construction of a picket fence without the need for additional mechanical fasteners. In one embodiment, the picket fence includes non-circular pickets, a first horizontal member and a second horizontal member. The first and second horizontal members include openings configured to receive respective pickets. Each picket includes at least one notch positioned to align with a respective opening in one of the first and second horizontal members. The notch facilitates rotation of the picket in relation to the one horizontal member to axially secure the vertical picket to the one horizontal member. The opening in the other horizontal member is oriented to non-rotatably receive the picket member after it has been secured to the one horizontal member. A method of assembling a picket fence assembly is also disclosed.
